Hello All,


Just playing around with some other browsers & find that out of FireFox, Chromium, Dillo, Midori & Links 2 the only ones I can access the site & forums with are FireFox & Chromium.
Dillo will open some pages but I cannot login with it, Links 2 complains about an SSL error & Midori complains the SSL handshake fails.
I'm really starting to like Midori as it's superfast & although it's bookmark handling is poor the speed with which it does things makes up for that, in my humble opinion anyway.
Is this because the SSL support is a bit behind in these browsers?
Or is it the LL site & forums just don't play nice with them?

It's usually SSL. I know that to be the case for Midori.

Thanks for that Jerry, I just upgraded Midori from version 0.4.something that came via Synaptic to 0.5.11 from the website & it still gives the SSL error unfortunately.
It's still being worked on I think as I see there's some good additions in the Extensions that weren't there before so hopefully in the future it'll have this issue sorted.
It has great potential.

You can access the site with Google Chrome, too.  That is easily installed via Lite Software.  Menu, System, Lite Software.  But I understand if you want open source browsers only.

I used Midori quite a bit some time ago. If it holds onto it's low footprint whilst continuing to evolve, I'd like to start using it again.

I am browsing the forum using Qupzilla, just as a test, it works fine but it seems that the browser is a little too stripped down to me.

Torreydale, thanks, I figured Chrome would work, and I imagine Opera would also but I usually do like to use an open source browser.
And it's a bit of a learning curve/experiment for me, playing around with different things, seeing how fast I can get everything running for things that I do on my system etc...

Avj, thanks also, never heard of QupZilla until I read your post, using the latest release (1.8.6) from the website at the moment & so far it's been working ok, very similar to Midori actually but it's memory usage seems a lot higher.
It does have a lot more configuration settings to play around with than Midori.
