Otter Browser Forum / DEB file for Otter

2019-02-15, 23:17:39

Is there any chance of having a DEB file created instead of using PPA to install Otter? I realize the Otter PPA is relatively safe, but I never use PPA. I'm using Linux Mint, but this would be relevant to any Ubuntu spin.

Otter Browser Forum / "Clear history when application closes" is not retained

2018-01-23, 15:53:07

On the Privacy tab of Preferences, if I check the box for "Clear history when application closes" and click on Okay, the next time I look at the setting it is un-checked. I believe this is a bug. This is on Windows 7 64-bit.

Otter Browser Forum / Bug report: tiny font and home shortcut

2018-01-23, 01:30:46

Three locations -- tab title text, the search text field in a new tab, and the URL -- use a tiny font compared to the one used in the file menu. They should all be the same size. I could live with the smaller font in the tabs, but the small font in the search text field is really difficult to use for someone with poor up-close vision.

The shortcut for home, whether via the little house icon or cntl-space, has extra behavior in that it opens a new tab. It should simply make the current tab go to the home page as it does in Firefox and IE.

This is on Windows 7 64-bit, with the default font size set to medium. I'd be happy if the above were configurable instead of being hard-coded, because I understand that some people may prefer things the other way.

All that said, I love Otter. It's not Chinese-owned, it doesn't use Chromium code, there is a single checkbox to disable JavaScript, and it's highly configurable.
