## epiphany

Thu Oct 27, 2011 2:15 am

It kinda is on topic here, in the refracta forum.
I am hunting for a replacement for icewease/firefox. It gets too heavy.
I tried to get used to kazehakase, really, but not my thing.
dillo is good, but i don't need to say more.
konqueror would pull too much of kde (i guess, might try).
midori does not seem bad, but not really my thing (yet, does not say much, i hate getting used to new apps)
So, i use epiphany more and more.
Here is my question:
How can i stop it to propose me addresses as soon i start typing in the address bar?
Side note: As far its refracta: i am fine with firefox, i am fine with iceweasel. Who wants other browsers can install them, i think. firefox seems to be "standard" (chromium is following, but as far i can tell: firefox is it for the default user). I don't propose epiphany for refracta, i am only looking around.

I have been trying to find a new browser as well. I think I am going with midori although I would prefer not to have the dbus-x11 junk.
As far as epiphany, if it can be tweaked then you will likely need to use the gconf-editor. I am not saying that it is possible. I am only saying that IF it is possible then gconf is probably the place to do it.
You might also check out arora. It is a QT app but does not pull in any kde packages.

gconf-editor... mhh... I had a quick look, and there does not seem to be much. But i recall that craigevil mentioned some things for epiphany, to be set in gconf-editor. Will investigate.
arora, good, i will look (i completely forgot about netsurf, funny one too).
But it looks as if for me epiphany would make it. It starts with 27MB, which is fine (compared to iceweasel, which goes straight to 130, but i use quite some addons and autostart several tabs). Still i think it is a bit strange to use the main part of my Ram-usage, close to the half, for the web-browser.

I cant decide either really.
I may end up back on kazehakase but maybe I will go with kazehakase-webkit instead of kazehakase-gecko.
Iceweasel starts up here with low memory usage. I never used add-ons or plugins except for flash as needed. I usually end up using iceweasel(or firefox) sooner or later anyway. But it can get bloaty sometimes.
I think the coolest browser would be one that had a button to click on/off features quickly and easily. Something that started without javascript, css, and other stuff that causes memory usage to jump but then had a button to click and turn those options on.
Sheesh, arora in squeeze sucks. It starts up in only 16mb but immediately junps to about 130mb even if I just visit google.com
