Hi

Does anyone use lightweight chromium based SpuerBird browser on Slackware?

Do you know a good slackbuild for it?

When I go to their website Firefox warns me the site was reported for spreading unwanted software. I'll pass on trying.

Hi Hosein,

out of curiosity I downloaded the source gzipped tarball. 480 575 488 bytes, is that really lightweight? Also tar xf and gunzip say "unexpected end of file" and there is no hash file to check the integrity of the tarball, "about us" says nothing about who is behind it, I saw no clear information about how to build it.
As JackHair, I will stay away from that, at least until I know some more about it.

Can you post the error/warning or screenshot?
None of the respected sites show any problems with that domain/ip. So you might want to update your firefox.

That must be a binary bundle and probably has multi-lib support, possibly even multi-os.
How big is the chromium download from google? Without a comparison your assertion that it is large might be inaccurate.

JackHair's getting bad data from firefox.

Well once expanded (but maybe not completely) to src/ superbird weighs 1 280 252 488 bytes and chromium-31.0.165057/ weighs 1 157 337 700 so that's the same order of magnitude. Anyway that I will stay away from it for now is just a personal choice, considering also that I don't feel a need for yet another browser.

I am running the latest Firefox (41.0.1)

@JackHair

I don't use Firefox. Pale Moon (25.7.2) and Safari (5.1.7) render SuperBird site without any warning. The odd thing is that SuperBird itself warns about existing harmful programs on it's site.

@Didier

I called it lightweight because it is by far less resource hungry than Google Chrome at least on my windows system (I have not tried it on Slackware yet).

My favorite browser on windows is Pale Moon but it doesn't bring same performance to Slackware.

Why was this page blocked?

I'm assuming it is because Google puts pages on its blocklist that just plain shouldn't be there. The only browser I use is Pale Moon.

Here is my experience with the site.. https://www.google.com/safebrowsing/...omium&hl=en-US

To be honest.. The footer on the website has two "Installed and tested" and "100 clean" images (no links to anywhere that has installed, tested or certified the software)... So... You know, even Sourceforge fucks you these days.. Why wouldn't some kid with too much time on his hand try to?

Ohh, and visiting the https variant:

"This server could not prove that it is superbird-browser.com; its security certificate is from *.your-server.de. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection."

So, yes... I would completely trust them for my browser experience... Why not.. )

So you trust google implicitly. They say that people get what they deserve in life. Maybe it's true.

I remember wondering why chromium had a web server in it. That was the beginning/end of my use of chromium.

Some people like to be an urchin or don't care if they're an urchin and others don't. I guess you're proud to be a google urchin.

It is yet another way that they can enforce their view of what you should and should not look at. It is censorship and not even really disguised.

So I should trust people that take Google's open source code and modify it, then give me closed source solutions on web-sites that have "100% clean" badges on them and invalid security certificates?
