Otter Browser Forum / Otter crashes and burns in Ubuntu Linux
I installed Otter Browser in Ubuntu 14.04. At first, it seemed to work fine, but then it started freezing and hanging, and then it lead to a segmentation fault and coredump.

Please help! Right now it seems my only choice is to purge Otter browser. I had to use another browser to even post this thread! Maybe the problem is the package I used, and some other form of installation would work.



Here is some information about the last crash:

otter-browser crashed with SISEGV in QWebHItTestResultPrivate::QWebHitTestResultPrivate()

Otter Browser Forum / Ad-blocking in Otter
I am a brand new otter user, just downloaded and installed otter on Ubuntu 14.04.  :up: 

I would like to know to block ads in Otter. In my other browsers (Pale Moon, SeaMonkey, Firefox), I have installed uBlock Origin. But this doesn't seem to be an option for Otter. Other adblockers like Adblock Plus, Adblock Latitude, etc. don't seem to work, either. (In fact, I am not sure where I can find any extensions for Otter.)

Any help would be appreciated. I would love to use this blazingly fast browser, but I am overwhelmed with advertising.  :yuck:

Thanks! :D
