Otter Browser Forum / Re: Beta 3 release (01-11-2014)
@DogMatix, this bar will be customizable, related discussion:
https://github.com/Emdek/otter/issues/356
Yes. Those ideas sound like the sort of thing I'd like.
Also, a way to access the menu bar options when the menu bar is hidden (e.g. via a button on the navigation bar) would be useful.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: Otter 0.9.02
Installation went fine and it seems very snappy. The Content Blocking is a welcomed feature.
When the ability to hide toolbars and the menubar, and add-on compatability hit this could be a real contender. I using it more and more already.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: What would make Otter a Browser of Choice?
@ersi Portability is important for me too. I can find myself working in various locations throughout the year and the ability to download a browser, 'log in', synch and have everything at hand, without lugging around a laptop, is useful. But, after being too faithful to Opera synch I felt I got my fingers burned. So I've turned to third-party add-on's that synch across various browsers, such as EverSync, FVD and LastPass.

Otter Browser Forum / Re: What would make Otter a Browser of Choice?
I have been keeping an eye on this project since its conception and I have been running the Alpha versions on Win7. I have now installed the Beta on a 32bit Lubuntu netbook.
I am pleased that Otter is an Open-source project, that sits well with me, and is one thing that Otter offers that Opera sadly never did.
A Mac version is also important to me as my 9-5 work day is usually spent sat in-front of my Mac.
I used to use Opera on Mac, Win & Linux computers and it was my primary browser and I had become rather dependant on the Opera synch facility. I have now changed to Firefox/Chromium and use third party add-ons such as Last-Pass to synch my various browsers. I don't want to put all my egg's in one basket again. So an important feature for me is compatibility with Firefox/Chrome add-on's API.
Native mail-clients and bit-torrents are less important to me as I use other applications for those and I'd rather have a browser that is lighter on resources than full of features I don't use.
The browser interface certainly reminds me of Opera 12. There are a few refinements such as hiding the menu bar and toolbars that would help, especially on a netbook screen. The amount of screen real estate used by the UI is currently considerably more than Firefox uses. Otherwise, it feels familiar and I like it.
