In past QtWebBrowser was working for me, it was slow but usable. Now it doesn't run after installing.
Each browser from PC (Midori, Firefox, Chromium) is very slow or doesn't run. Terminal, text-based browsers are fast but unusable nowadays. I keep searching for something good.

If someone could port and would update a bit the Dooble from Fremantle that would be perfect in my opinion. That was the best browser in my opinion.

Actually if you run Leste in Pinephone or Droid4 then installing Firefox 102 ESR is not bad idea, but if somebody have good ideas how to configure better (to get full screen (and back) or at least get rid of tabs-line), please write here:
https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=101411
But Firefox is somekind of backup, if pages doesn't open with another..I miss speed and usability of Micro-B or Opera 11 in N900. How aout if we ask nicely from Vivaldi browser programmers, saying "you get market share near 100% for Leste with it"

I was surprised that text-based Lynx wasn't so bad for some modern pages, has somebody tested Links2 with graphics?

Hi all. Links2 in graphical mode works very well, see Maemo Leste N900 wiki
I'm writing this message with it.

Scrolling works well with the small scrollbar on the right.
Keyboard shortcuts are:
P for scrolling up
L for scrolling down
Arrow keys (up and down) for oldschool navigation like S40-S60
Arrow keys (left and right) for previous and next pages
G for URL's
S for bookmarks menu
On N900 you must disable Hildon Composition to boost performances while using Links2:
Ctl + Shift + N

This also speed up Links2 graphics mode in PinePhone. It would be nice that somebody enough skillful makes that work like fullscreen/not fullscreen toggle even with transparent full screen touch logo.

Also font-size settings would be nice. In Pinephone Enter URL is so small in graphics mode.

Font size settings are available in 'View' / 'Html options'

Whou..there is whole menu when press Fn+9 with Pinephone Keyboard (also with droid4?)
But menu text is more small and that settings set font-size of pages, not Enter URL (when press G to Go URL) font size.
And I find that right place to change that font is here: Setup -.> Fonts, but there can only change font, not size. Although Nokia Sans Bold, looks little bigger (and looks better) Btw. why there is so many Noto fonts installed?

But there is Setup -> Video options and I cannot change Display optimiztion for CRT to LCD (can somebody confirm that bug?), but I can change Dithering options...and with disable dithering makes little speed up.
