SeaLion is definitely worth considering, but it is not part of the distribution, and it would be desirable if Debian PPC (we are talking about big endian PPC, and I'm using PPC64 myself) would have a modern featurefull browser available. Of course everyone (I should say most people ;)) would want Firefox, but from the threads you quote below I was under the impressions that there was little hope to get it working, but from Adrian's email on this thread I get the impression that it is still worth pursuing? Would packaging SeaLion in Debian be a worthwhile alternative goal? > see the threads on this here: > > https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2023/11/msg00011.html > > and here: > > https://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/2023/11/msg00015.html > > > I don't think anything significant has changed since then. Thank you for linking back to those threads which are informative and relevant. I don't remember seeing there Epiphany mentioned, and I'm interested in knowing if people have it working. It is not on par with Firefox in terms of features, but it is a fine browser, supported, and in Debian. Best regards, João
