Re: What are the fastest Mozilla's Gecko-based web browsers for PowerBook G4?

Hi all- there are some now.

Firefox 45 ESR, Firefox 51 and Ice Cat . for now on the BE the best are

are Firefox ESR and Firefox 47 (Ice Cat i only tested it on Fedora PPC64) .

This last two dont use EGL for video rendering it means you can play video with right colors and without glithces.

on G4 you can play 240/360p video on youtube with your configuration .

On G5 Quad i can play 360° VR 4k video without issue with firefox 47 :P

Ciao

Luigi

First, flash is dead under PowerPC. It will never work sadly. Besides that I cannot think of another gecko based browser to use. Besides FF I use Midori, but that is WebKit based.

In my couple days old Debian Jessie/stable PowerPC on a very old 2002
15" Titanium PowerBook G4 with 512 MB of RAM, it came with Firefox v45.7
ESR but it is very slow and uses too much memories.

I wonder if there are faster Gecko-based web browsers. If they do exist,
then they need to still work with my 20 MB places.sqlite file from and
with my faster computers' (new/lat)est SeaMonkey and Firefox versions
(Windows, Mac OS, and Linux/Debian). Same for plugins (e.g., Flash) and
extensions (uBlock Origin).

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance. :)
