Klaus Knopper Requests Your Feedback - please take this poll
Klaus Knopper has requested I post this poll. I would be grateful if you assisted by taking the poll and choosing ONE of the above. Please provide feedback by posting below.
From Klaus:
Since I recently switched to chromium as default browser, and only
graphical browser for the Knoppix CD (+adriane), I now have doubts if
this was in fact good. Personally, I like the google webbrowser for its
speed, stability, simplicity and intuitive interface, however, there are
a few points that I don't like:
- it is not accessible for blind people with orca.
This is really bad, especially for the ADRIANE
CD version where Firefox previously provided a
good way for browsing graphically and having
speech output+braille. I realized this only after the
6.7.0 release of Knoppix.
- Some users apparently don't like google and/or don't trust chromium.
This is a political thing. I personally have no objections using open
source software regardless of the primary vendor, and had chosen
chromium just because the technical reasons given above, without
intention of expressing any preferences pro or contra google.
- Noscript does not work in chromium, and there is no real good replacement.
However, disabling Javascript and Plugins and enabling them on a per-page
base is close to what Noscript did, and the security concept of running
each web page tab as separate process seems like a good approach to me.
I would like to know what other users think. Surely, we can keep both,
Firefox and Chromium on the DVD edition, but I need some feedback about
which should be the default, and there is only space for a single large
graphical browser in the CD version of Knoppix.
Which should be the default graphical WWW browser in Knoppix?
