a...Keeping the presto engine and UI going in any way possible. Just not within
my area of expertise, as evidenced by the replies. Sorry!...
c,d... cannot comment on chrome (does not run here, mysterious library
dependency quirk )... but just then a news article linked at ycombinator.com,
someone off-topic reported problems with chromium/firefox and reverted to
lynx or links.. Does not load in opera (ssl settings) but in seamonkey (mozilla
engine) the GPU starts ramping up the noise level, making the page
problematic.
e... Still wonder if legacy opera (presto engine) can be tweaked to
within licensing run in a jailed chroot, virtualbox, bhyve, etc. to get around
its seeming no-longer-installable-soon status
May be wasting my time, maybe not.
I had it running in a not-complete-chroot to fix a font issue, but upgrading
FreeBSD versions may have broken that. The font issue is fixed, so unable
to spend the time to test.
[1] This is stuff I think about but have no time for, for the most part. I apologize
if I'm wasting anyone's time even posting about it... freely ignore all my posts...
I probably would.
