Has anyone had good luck with the Aurora web browser? I installed it and it crashed twice. Then it seemed like it rebooted the computer. Thats a pretty serious issue. Just wondering if this app was still very much in the alpha stages of development.
There has been no update to arora since 1 year. I guess the project is dead or no longer in development.
I would suggest using another qtwebkit based browser (if web+ isn't enough). There are several browser on the qt-haiku website which are based on newer qtwebkit versions.
I was actually looking for a functional text-only web browser. I tried Lynx but it failed with the usual "missing libraries" dependency-hell error message. It would be nice if there was a browser along the lines of the classic Mac OS browser "Wannabee". It was blazing fast on old machines and rendered a page showing no adverts or images. I wonder if it could be ported to Haiku?
The official version of haiku is a gcc2 hybrid that will run gcc2 or gcc4 compiled applications. Your instaqll must be a gcc4 only version. These are only produced for the developers to test the build. Please use a gcc2 hybrid if you are planning on actually using the operating system.

Re: Aurora web browser
its very alpha and done with a older version of the QT framework, however it does seem very crashy even with the newer QT framework builds.

Re: Aurora web browser
Try:
installoptionalpackage linksThis is an improved lynx browser that can be set to display text only.
Re: Aurora web browser
doing that in Terminal resulted in this message "no optional package Links for gcc4". So this version of Haiku isnt all that expandable.

www.qt-haiku.ru has everything you need.
