Otter Browser Forum / Otter not working anymore
From one day to the next Otter has stopped working on my system. I can't see any reason for this behaviour. I did a full dist-upgrade last weekend but Otter still worked after that. The only packages that I upgraded recently were openssl and libssl1.0.0. I am not sure whether Otter still worked after that. But the problem with Otter is not restricted to https anyway, Otter seems not to send any demand to the internet (according to netspeed applet). I purged otter-browser package and deleted the otter-folders in ~/.config and ~/cache then reinstalled. Didn't help. I tried vivid79 instead of utopic79, no difference. Other browsers work as usual. Any idea?

Otter Browser Forum / Feedback
For several months now I have been following the development of Otter from afar. Using Opera the last 16 years (since 3.51) I have still not found a new home and the number of pages Opera 12.16 has problems with is rising.

After changing from LMDE (where there is no qt5) to Debian Testing end of September I tried Otter but it crashed frequently. Week 51 I tried again and it is much more stable now.

First of all my compliments for having achieved what you did as a small team in short time. Impressive.
Saying this will motivate you (hopefully) but precise feedback might help better.

In terms of speed it seems to be noticeably faster than Opera, Qupzilla and Iceweasel (but it's difficult to compare as speed here is changing all the time).
But featurewise it is still behind, so here's my feature list that looks somewhat different from yours.

Must have (to leave Opera):
- mail client
- ad blocking/content blocking
- site specific settings (Cookies, JavaScript overrides, sound yes/no)

Nice to have (to feel comfortable):
- password manager
- customizable toolbars
- start page
- switch between tabs with mouse (right click and wheel with Opera)

Lesser importance (things I never use):
- spell checking
- form auto completion
- feeds reader
- BitTorrent
- instant messaging
- tabs grouping
- skins

So, go on and give us what the vikings were obviously not capable or willing to do :-)
