Otter Browser Forum / Otter: Unknown option 'no-sandbox'
I've compiled otter-browser-1.0.81-dev333 and receive Otter: Unknown option 'no-sandbox.'  However, when starting Otter I receive 'Running as root without --no-sandbox is not supported.'  That implies to me 'otter-browser --no-sandbox' should work.

Yes, I realize running as root is discouraged by most.

Otter Browser Forum / This tab has crashed. Otter-0.9.12/qt-5.7
It's been some some since I tried Otter but I decided to test it again as there are now bookmark keywords.  I don't remember keywords in earlier versions; perhaps I missed them.

Unfortunately, I receive "This tab has crashed." for several sites.  I don't remember this problem with previous versions.  What should I check?

Otter Browser Forum / Key action questions.
Alt keys don't seem to work.  For instance, [Alt f] doesn't bring up the File menu.  In fact, File appears only as File.  None of the menu options display an underlined access letter.  I assume the problem is on my box but I see no appropriate setting.

"Enter" doesn't seem to work with F2 "Go to Page."  F2 works as it brings up "Go to Page."  However, after typing an address, "Enter" has no effect.  Shouldn't "Enter" take me to the address?

Is it still planned to add alpha access keys to the Bookmarks menu?  I really like the feature in Opera.  Unfortunately, recent releases don't seem to have it.

Otter Browser Forum / Site problem with Opera and Otter.
For about a month I've been unable to access linuxfromscratch.org.  I receive "Connection closed by remote server."  I've visited that site for years with Opera and can still access it with other browsers.

I assumed this to be an Opera problem and reported the site with "Report a Site Problem..." without success.  However, I find I also cannot access linuxfromscratch.org with Otter 0.9.06-dev.  I receive a blank screen only.

I'm posting this not to report a site problem, but to suggest perhaps Otter is carrying over something from Opera it should not.  I assume linuxfromscratch.org made a change not liked by Opera.  However, it apparently doesn't faze other browsers and perhaps Otter should be in that camp.

Otter Browser Forum / Allow windows instead of tabs?
Can I configure Otter without tabs?  I have "Reuse current tab" checked in General/Preferences and it works, but I want no tab at all.  Opera has "Allow windows instead of tabs" under "Additional tab options ..."

Otter Browser Forum / Single-key shortcuts and bookmarks menu items suggestion.
I very much like Opera's single-key shortcuts.  But In Otter, please don't assign single-key letters to Bookmark page ... , Manage bookmarks ..., or any menu options.

Opera does so, which has a negative cascading effect on bookmarks for which I'd like to assign a unique letter.  For example, I can't build a Baseball folder if "B" is taken by Bookmark page ...  Assigning letters to the menu options defeats the purpose of assigning letters I want to bookmarks.  And I use the menu options quite seldom relative to the bookmarks.

I realize this isn't currently done, but as Otter is in development I'd hate to see it carried over.  It seems now is the time to make the suggestion.
