Edit slimjet speeddial12/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Some also need -single-process command line flag in addition to -no-sandbox. They need GTK3, no problem easy to install from PPM. Have tried all 32-bit portable versions from, from 20 to 32. Has anyone in this thread actually gotten *any* version of Slimjet-32 to work with Tahr-32? But as slimjet's opening GUI is a customizable 'Speed Dial', you can just add any of Search Engine to the dial, click it and be 'off and running'. And even if you could, IIRC, it was difficult to get them to open with a response to your search query: they opened to the search page on which I had to again enter the terms to be searched. My attempts to set either as the default search engine under slimjet were just ignored. Results are censored and, IIRC, you're on notice that your interests will be reported. Swisscows, on the other hand, is based in -wait for it- Switzerland, subject to neither the US or EU's jurisdiction and famed for its protection of privacy. ![]() But IIRC its privacy provisions are better than Qwant's. Based in Germany, metager3 is also subject to EU laws and concerns. Metager3 and swisscows can also be added via the webstore or manually. It's easy to add to Slimjet via the Webstore, and can be set as default web-browser. Would you rather have NSA knowing what you're interested in or the EU? Qwant is based in France subject to EU privacy laws but also security concerns. Qwant is on par with DuckDuckgo, with perhaps this plus. It's difficult to find a Search Engine that will respect your privacy, especially running slimjet. Does not matter which browser you are using (I think). Update here: It seems the embedded method for Youtube does not work with DuckDuckGo anymore but still does with Bing and Yahoo. You should try a new Puppy which should be able to run all browsers without any upgrades and/or other potential problems. BTW - you don't seem to have such an old machine. This works for youtube don't know if videos from other sites will work. You will get a list of all the results, then click the videos tab and click the video you want to play. Search for your video eg: youtube rod stewart. Just use another search engine like Duckduckgo or Bing. No, you don't need to install anything else. Rt-click on an empty space->Window->Terminal here. Go into the Slimjet-portable directory, please. There's something else stopping your Slimjet-portable from running.has to be. It can't be missing, because it was never there in the first place. That particular item is specific to the 64-bit variants. Um the 32-bit versions don't use the LAUNCH_NL script. Mikeslr often posts about various Puppies, and how some 'only' seem to use around 80-90 MB when 'ticking over', but let's be honest, shall we? How can summat that's maybe 250-300 MB on the ISO suddenly get smaller when it's unpacked & running? I'm sorry, but that's never made sense to me, y'know?Īny combo of a Puppy AND a Chromium 'clone' really needs a minimum of 2GB, pereferably more, to properly behave itself. Add in the several hundred MB that these browsers expand to when they're running - plus they've always been RAM-hungry, due to running every separate tab within its own sandboxed 'process' - and, well, you just ain't got the resources there, old son. I KNOW they're smaller than that on the ISO - we're all very fond of quoting tiny sizes for Puppy! - but most forget that everything expands when it's unpacked into RAM, layered, and functioning. Most modern Puppies need between 512 MB and a gig of RAM just to function correctly. I recall you always used to have issues with my Slimjet SFS packages, didn't you? However, in this case, I can quite categorically state that trying to run ANY Chromium-based browser with only 1 GB RAM is, well you're on a hiding to nothing, basically! ![]()
