This afternoon I tried two more browsers on this old system – surf and Qupzilla.
surf works but it does not seem to respond to all the key bindings, like my most used one Ctrl++ to enlarge the view. The manual says it should work with Shift+Ctrl++ but that does not work either. I was able to login to the antixforum.com website but I can’t see anything, it’s too small. surf won’t work for me. Not to mention it is not really meant for a GUI interface.
Qupzilla became Falkon. The version I installed is 1.8.9. It is very familiar to me, similar in interface to Chrome and Firefox. It was based on Chromium. It works good except it still pegs the CPU at 100% when I go to antixforum.com. I turned off JavaScript in the settings. But nothing seemed to change. I quit the program and then restarted the program. That seemed to work. I logged back in to antixforum.com and it remembered me and I am able to edit my posts. I am typing this message now from Qupzilla. The RAM used is 190M and the CPU is at 10%. This may work.
So, it seems that I have two candidates for my default GUI browser here in antiX-16, Midori and Qupzilla. I will give them both a chance. I do like the Qupzilla interface since I am familiar with it from my years of using Chrome and Firefox and SeaMonkey. I looked to find a more recent version but there does not seem to be one available. There is a Falkon in the MX-17 repo but that is not Jessie. There is also an appimage in MX-15. I will stay with this Qupzilla version and see what happens.
