Web browsers, Adobe Flash & Debian
in [Debian]
|
From: ABSDoug on 10 Jun 2010 01:10 I've been Googling Ephathy vs Firefox vs Opera as well as Adobe Flash. I'm not sure what is the best direction to go. I've got an iPhone, so I'm a bit familar with what sucks (& doesn't) about Adobe Flash. Without it, a good portion of the web is not accessable, unless there is something I'm missing? I also read a bit why Ubuntu uses Firefox & Debian doesn't. None of what I read was a decision maker. You can install Firefox or Opera, but I'm not sure of the easiest/best way. Is there a way/is the best way, to add something to "Software Sources"? After a few bumps in the road, I'm finding Debian Stable as easy to use as Ubuntu. Thanks for all that helped, it is really cool of you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

None of what I read was a decision maker. debian uses iceweasel, something about legalese with the mozilla lads. whateveres, iceweasel works just as well. there are ways to install flash. i have since forgotten how to do it but im sure someone will come along. or you could search the list... i think its been touched about 20 times. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Without it, a good portion of annoying advertisement are missing :) That's why I have flash plugin installed but also have FlashBlock extension enabled in Firefox so only trusted domains (like youtube, vimeo and few others) are allowed. >I also read a bit why Ubuntu uses Firefox & Debian doesn't.

Iceweasel (Debian clone of Firefox) seem easier to me, as far as it's open source and thus avaliable in official repositories, but you can install Opera easily as well: Google â "opera debian" â [1] > After a few bumps in the road, I'm finding Debian Stable as easy to use as > Ubuntu. Thanks for all that helped, it is really cool of you. Excuse me for rudeness, but: that's because you don't do much by yourself. Have you ever read "How to Ask Questions in a Smart Way", nice howto by Eric Steve Raymond? If no, my advice is to read it. 1. http://wiki.debian.org/Opera -- Regards, Alexander Batischev 1024D/69093C81 F870 A381 B5F5 D2A1 1B35 4D63 A1A7 1C77 6909 3C81
