5/5/2023 0 Comments Qupzilla vs firefox![]() The website explains it all: People love this music player. Its Qt so as usuall is cross platformed and is licensed under GPL. Long time ago it was forked from Clementine. Its strives to be simple, powerfull and yet lightweight with the emphasis on the sound quality. After my testing it handles big (really big) photos way better then MS Windows included pic viewer. It also has an interesting GUI (open a photo and move mouse to the right and see what an excellent piece of software it is). I found an new one with has all that a modern photo browser needs (and it doesn't pretend to be an editor) and is licenes under GPL v3. All are freeware only or there's one, very, very old and outdated/abandoned, which doesn't display arithmetically coded jpgs (20 year old standard) and lacks of many modern photo compressions (aviff, webp and so on.). Due to 9 there is a complete lack of modern photo browser that does just that. Its a mixed of unknown, unverifiable software (aka freeware) and libre software (freedom), which code on the other hand we can verify (for security, spyware and inclusion of malicious functions/code).ġ0. Thre's no filter (either on the website nor in Portable Apps Platform) for GPL licensed software. So mpv by itself has to be updated whenever there is ffmpeg update (mpv compiled against ffmpeg with GNUTLS, so there's no "CPU" leakage on https with e.g.flac).Įxpected result: check the above version of shared libraries.ĩ. SMplayer may stay on the same GUI version, but mpv as a shared library must be updated. Hence mpv must be updated even if SMPlayer hasn't yet. Haven't checked yet, but Smplayer is the GUI for mpv. Nothing matches! And it doesn't come from USA/NSA (5 eyes.).Įxpected Result: Add secure, private conferencing software that beast the sh.t out of zooms and matrixes. Its private, more secure than anything else and the code is on GPL v.3! (incl. Its been in development for years on years. They are unbeatable in terms of privacy and secrity. Its on GPL v.3 and the company even provides secure SIP server software (also GPL v.3). It would be nice to add something from a different world. In the wake of "spyware" like WhatsApp etc. People love this browser.Įxpected result: for privacy and security conscious people: add LibreWolfħ. ![]() exe relesed very timely, with all the massive junk of Firefox removed (omni.ja is hacked, nothing is "calling home" every time you open the browser.). For secuirty and privacy conscious people its one of the best of the best options. Since Firefox "calls home" and has lots of telemetry (euphemism for spyware), it would be very nice to add LibreWolf. Add Palemoon (you may also add Basilisk for people who prefer this version of FF GUI).Ħ. ![]() Palemoon has already a portable version, so its going to be much easier to add "just entries to the GUI of Portable Apps Menu"Įxpected result: delete Kameleon. Both are very active, never missing security updates (unlike Kameleon, which I don't know what it is now, its may well be dead). These are: Palemoon ("main" browser) and Basilisk (maintained by the Palemoon dev, different GUI, same security, same extensions, same goanna engine). They both have the same engine, but different Firefox GUI and they have forked security plugins/extensions (script blocking, ublock fork, etc). There are two excellent low recources browsers based on actively developed (incl. It may or may not have engine developed by others (i.e. Its unclear who owns it, makes it (who took it over original devs?). Its a weired browser, with weired history and no security updated. Its a historical browser, which place is in a museum. "Regular" has a very fast pace of adding new feature and is released way too often without testing, hence Firefox ESR is a must.ģ.Qupzilla years ago turned into Falkon. This way there are fewer updates, more tested browser and less strain on portable apps server. Remove the check box.Įxpected result: compile Falkon against latest, secure QtWebEngine.Ģ.Firefox ESR. New version comes from portable apps, not from SMplayer server. Please do not activate "check for new versions of SMplayre every time it starts". I understand that this concept is absent for people using MS Windows, hence Falkon hasn't be updated for years. Falkon has to be compiled against latest, secure QtWebEngine. The Falkon will have the same version number (its "just" GUI"), but the main component (rendering engine) will be new and secure. The shared library is the engine: QtWebEngine. The shared library should be updated and new Falkon should be compiled. ![]() GUI is the latest, but shared library is very, very old. I try to be as brief as possible and explain what needs to be fixed (security), what apps need to be replaced and what are deprecated.ġ. ![]()
