Otter Browser Forum / Startpage search engine
Can the Startpage search engine be added to Otter. I have tried adding it manually but does not work correctly. If I go to https://startpage.com/ it recognises Otter as Safari and cannot add it as Safari has deceased.

Can someone help with this please.

Otter Browser Forum / Problem with build 80
Installed build 80 but when started it brings up an error message saying it cannot find MSVCR120.DLL though if you accept the message it then runs. Have reverted to build 78 and there is no problem.

Otter Browser Forum / Security Certificate Revocation Awareness Test
Weekly 72 is failing this test

If you can see this (and apparently you can), you
are using a revocation UNaware web browser!

The SSL/TLS security certificate for this special website has been deliberately revoked.  Since you are seeing this page, we know that this web browser is allowing a site with a known invalid certificate to display its pages. This is likely not the behavior you would choose.

Otter Browser Forum / Logjam Attack
Found this link on another forum.

It appears that Otter (72) is vulnerable to this attack assuming that the test is correct.

I have just updated Otter to build 65. This problem occurs in this and subsequent builds.

The link works fine in other browsers.

It is strange that the link works correctly running it from this posting.

Otter Browser Forum / Problem with Duckduckgo
I have found when searching with Duckduckgo that the links it brings up will not connect. I just end up with a blank page. If I use Google then no probem.

Anyone else have this problem.

Otter Browser Forum / Setting up search engine
I usually use Google because of it ease of use for country specific searches, but would like to use Duckduck more. I see that it is possible to set it up for specific countries but not sure how that is achieved in Otter. If you set up DD you get a bookmarklet (https://duckduckgo.com/?kl=uk-en) but setting up a new search engine for DD and adding that BM does not achieve anything. Is there a way to set it up as a permanent choice in the search menu?

Otter Browser Forum / Storing profile, bookmarks etc
Is it possible to change the location of the profile, bookmarks etc?

The reason is that I regularly restore a baseline image to my machine and everytime I do so all the settings are lost.

I am using the syntax <"G:\Program Files (x86)\Otter Browser\otter-browser.exe" --profile "F:\Otter\Otter"> to load Otter which works in as much as Otter loads but not seem to be saving what I need.

Otter Browser Forum / Bookmarks
Noticed in the latest Win version that there is an option to import bookmarks direct from Opera. Unfortunately Otter crashes or rather freezes when trying to import. Left it for around 5 minutes but nowt happened. Task Manager showed it using 25% CPU.

Otter Browser Forum / Adblock for Otter
Is there an AdBlocker for Otter. In Opera 12 I am using Adblock. Is this compatible with Otter, or is there some other available. I don't want to get into writing scripts.

Otter Browser Forum / New versions
I get notifications of an update available from Sourceforge but when I look at the About in Otter there does not seem to be any difference from that in the current version. Or am I missing something?

13
Otter Browser Forum / U Tube errors
Not a big deal but for info I am finding that Otter crashes when loading or coming out of a U Tube video. Does not happen everytime. The error is quoted as memory issue.

I am running it through Sandboxie which may have an influence. Also using Win 8.1

Otter Browser Forum / Search engine not working correctly
I use Google since it usually gets the answers I need.

Using the Google search engine as setup by Otter it does not bring up the Option to search in the UK as against worldwide. In Opera there is an option "Search Tools" and when pressed I can change the country (amongst others).

Secondly if I edit the search engine for Google to Google.co.uk, when I then do a search it brings up the local directory.

Bit puzzled why it is doing that.

Otter Browser Forum / Possible bug in address bar
Firstly there is no Paste & Go for the address bar but presumably that will be added.

So the problem is that if you paste an address into the address bar. Pressing Enter then deletes the entry rather than taking you there. For now you have to remove the highlight, then press Enter and it will take you there.
