Running the 64 bit version. Love that Chrome is the default browser. Keep up the good work.

Hi,

With regard to Browsers, I must admit to installing Iceweasel (still have Chromium installed).

For me the biggest advantage of Iceweasel is being able to add Noscript which I have grown used to.

Will continue to use Chromium occasionally, but for me at the moment Iceweasel wins.

Generally very impressed with Saline - you have put a lot of effort in Anthony for a much needed distro!

Thank you very much.

Dyfi.

Gotta be careful all this praise may go to my head

You are very welcome

Hopefully this project has a long and bright future. So far I am happy with its first couple weeks of existence. Time and resources permitting there are lots of little projects I have in mind for making it even better. (Looking at the Remastersys code has made me fall in love with a little toolkit called Zenity, I am going to work on mastering its little secrets)

Would just like to slip this in, any help spreading the word about SalineOS is much appreciated.

The Chromium fonts are to small for my old eyes.

@Jimmy,
I hear you.
Click on the wrench at the upper right > click on Preferences > Under the Hood > Web Content
Font Size: I Iike the Medium size, but you can play with Customize Font for yourself.
It does help.

In the Chrome Browser I don't see a setting for medium fonts, I ran the font up to size 18 but it don't make a difference, pages with small fonts display small fonts, in Firefox you can make a page use your fonts so all the pages have the same size font and the idea of using the + and - key is just a PITA, I'll use Firefox cause it just works and the pages load fast enough for me.
