Minimalist, lightweight web browser
Hi foxes!
I met some friends this week, and during discussion around web browsers, one of my friend told me that he is using vimperator. He explained to us that is helps him to save time, because everything is VI binding (he is a vi-fan boy).
So, back to home, I looked for the same software, but with emacs key binding. And there is a webbrowser based on Gecko rendering engine using extensively emacs binding : Conkeror (with a "C").
Additionnaly, I found some interesting web browsers like :
1. surf
2. jumanji
3. vimprobable
4. a list of lightweight applications on linux, macosx, win32
For 2 days I'm using Conkeror, and the rendering is maybe slower than using opera 11.00 / build 1156 for windows XP, presto 2.7.62; but navigating through multiple tabs or inside a webpage is great. When you are used to have many opened tabs (like 20+), you can be more productive with such tools, using only keystrokes.
My Conkeror version is 0.9.3, with xulrunner version 1.9.2.13. I have added basic plugins from mozilla addons like : noscript, flashblock, flashgot (to use orbit downloader), adblock plus.
An idea to replace adblock plugin is to use privoxy
EDIT: January 9th 2011
You can use these local proxies to remove ads / add adblocks feature:
1. privoxy
2. bfilter, include a Heuristic Flash analyzer.
3. tinyproxy
And links to convert the Easylist (provided by AdBlock Plus plugin) to :
1.privoxy
2. comments about the script just above
3.bfilter
You can read the maemo wiki about that.
EDIT: January 12th 2011
some conkeror customisation like enabling the url history management.
Have a look on them ;)

Privacy on internet
Hi folks !
Today, I was looking some information about privacy on the Internet. So, I have just learnt that you can pay monthly fees to get :
* a VPN service,
* a proxy service.
Some free providers exist, but the bandwith is quite low unfortunately. You can have a look on :
* an openVPN and proxy solution. This solution is a paid one, but you can use it for free with some restrictions,
* a free VPN services. Your IP address will be located in the US.
Plus, you have some other interesting open source projects like :
*JAP, Java Anonimity and Privacy, and the commercial version.
*TOR.
Some interesting website on the topic:
*Surfing Anonymously within 7 Minutes, 2008,
*a list of proxy tools.
