I see that the Midori browser has a cool new feature, a button in the toolbar that takes you to the next page, for example the next page of a thread.

EDIT: And it didn't glitch when I pressed Quick Reply! But the "edit" button still isn't quite right...

And it seems to be far faster than Firefox, too!

You can benchmark it with http://service.futuremark.com/peacekeeper/index.action. It isn't a good test across differnt machines, but it's a good measure for different browsers/versions on a particular machine.

I don't know ... I just remember that for the last few days I was very annoyed about how slow the internet became, but with Midori it seems fast again.

I'm playing with running gui apps in raw X. It's the ultimate in minimalist, but it is FAST even if impractical. I've found that if I launch xterm and google-chrome together I can pretty much do anything I would normally do, except that I don't have sound. I'm not sure what that's about.

Edit: Sound was a muted PCM.

How do you manipulate windows without a window manager?

They really can't be "manipulated"........no resizing or even closing of the windows directly. I created an xinit file so that startx with the xinit file loads xterm (can't be moved) and google-chrome (can be moved). Xterm allows me to open and close programs and google-chrome, allows me to surf while doing other things since if I do it in xterm they would be concurrent, and multiple instances of xterm (I THINK*) would run on top of each other and not allow for me to be as productive. I then added xclock to the xinit script so that I can also see the time.

I still can't imagine how you can work without being able to move/resize windows.

I never said it was PRACTICAL. It just takes the minimalist gui thing to the extreme. I could see it being useful in a few instances. Memory usage watching youtube with other open tabs in google-chrome on a 64 bit machine is under 230MB. As far as moving windows, some can be moved, I haven't yet figured out what the reason for that is yet. Also, if I can figure out how to start a window maximized by default, then I can create what amounts to single use kiosk. I'm the closest thing to technically minded my house sees, but I have kids and a lot of facebook/twitter obsessed friends of my wife over frequently so a machine that gives these people only as much use as either of us think they need is an interesting idea to me.

I guess it's just something else to explore. It's also given me a great appreciation for fluxbox, which more and more seems like it has just about everything I need.
