Hello,
There are lots of browsers. I tried to classify them by engine. Don't
hesitate to notify errors or missing. Browsers based on Chromium are
interesting because they integrate WebXR and can work with virtual reality .
Browsers based on Mozilla Gecko engine :
- Firefox
- GNU IceCat : https://icecatbrowser.org. A free version of Firefox.
- Floorp, fork of Firefox ESR : https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp.

Hello Ken,

Surely the best browser is a matter of personal choice ;)
SeaLion (https://github.com/wicknix/SeaLion) is the best choice for PowerPC.
It works quite well for me, certainly better than anything else I have ever
tried.
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
