Otter Browser Forum / Re: DEB file for Otter
I'm running an updated version of Sylvia, built a week ago.

I tried otter-browser_1.0.01-1~disco~ppa1_amd64.deb, but it complained about libhunspell-1.7-0. Linux Mint does not know how to install libhunspell.

At least it's not as bad as Brave, the online instructions of which completely hosed update.

I purged otter-browser because I don't like having things half-installed. Thanks for your help, but I will wait until Otter is officially released.

Otter Browser Forum / DEB file for Otter
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 / Bug report: tiny font and home shortcut
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.
