        Links and Dillo require java/jre to even deal with gmail login. As far as I know. I cannot even login to this forum using Netsurf on my P3 IBM Laptop running AntiX 17.

        I could login here on Qupzilla browser though after installing JRE runtime enviroment

        Otherwise. Use Claws email instead.

          Uzbl Hushmail.com perfect. Gmail, I refuse to use, but also works in uzbl.
          uzbl is not really minimal (minimum+)

            Ha ha. Google won’t let me in on Links2. But.

            New device signed in to

            A new device just signed in to your Google Account. You’re getting this email to make sure it was you.

            So it says I signed in. But it is bull pucky.Kinda like knocking on the door, But not opening the door. But calling the police any ways.

              On MX forum, MX-16 fan tested Clawsmail and Sylpheed and reported that the fork, formerly a better choice is less updated and so less reliable than Sylpheed. Maybe worth a try.

                Nope.
                Java/JRE is only involved in browser, when a page contains <applet> embedded content
                and is handled via a plugin (e.g the “IcedTea” Java plugin)

                It is javascript (aka ECMAscript) which is used across garden-variety login pages, webforms…
                and that is handled natively by the browser (e.g. firefox, chromium) or is not supported by the browser (e.g. dillo, elinks)

                  Gmail, I refuse to use

                  same here, but for the sake of testing I do have an account.
                  As recently as a month or so ago, I was (still) able to sign-in using TorBrowser with javascript disabled.
                  Immediately after submitting the login form, keep an eye on lower-right corner of the screen… and click “basic HTML only”.

                  edit:
                  retested again today, with javascript disabled. The gmail page coaches you how to proceed.

                  a

                  yahoo

                  with javascript disabled, sends ya to a recaptcha “prove you’re not a robot” page (which you cannot passthru while javascript disabled)

                    I’m using the eric6 web browser for gmail and works great.
                    It installed with my python setup.

                      Which one? I installed python-setuptools & python3-setuptools, but I don’t see any eric6 browser.

                        It installed as part of eric package. It actually is part of eric python ide.
                        It uses PyQt5/qtwebkit but menu says eric6-web browser under programming tab.

                          One thing I do notice is my cpu sits around 50% when running and
                          memory usage seems to slowly increase. The cpu usage is only
                          when I’m on the forums page not sitting at the duckduckgo homepage.
                          I’m on a athon 2650e cpu at 1.6 ghz. Also there is no youtube
                          or flash capability on it.

                            Thank you, it works. It seems to be an interesting alternative, quite fast, but I can’t say yet if it’s actually faster than Pale Moon on my system. There are also some problems. There is an error message at startup:

                            Warning:
                            inotify_add_watch(“/home/yyy/.config/qt5ct/”) failed: “No such file or directory”
                            File: None
                            Line: 0
                            Function: None

                            And there was also an unexpected one:

                            Warning:
                            QObject::disconnect: Unexpected null parameter
                            File: None
                            Line: 0
                            Function: None

                            And in one case, the browser shut down unexpectedly.

                              If you open your terminal and type “touch /home/yyy/.config/qt5ct”
                              the error goes away. I never had the second error but I do have
                              java enabled under settings/preferences. Also a search
                              on the error shows that it is a
                              Qt5/webkit error that alot of people are getting.

                                The touch command didn’t fixed the problem. It created a file and not a directory. The mkdir command did the job:

                                mkdir /home/yyy/.config/qt5ct

                                I never had the second error but I do have java enabled under settings/preferences.

                                I enabled java, too, but I had once again this error, while quoting your post.

                                  I’m not sure what’s causing the second error, but alot of people on kde and Qt sites are having
                                  it too…not just eric browser but on alot of qt4 and qt5 programs. I’m not going to use it
                                  anymore because it just locked up my cpu at 100% and sucked up all my ram (1.9 gb). I just
                                  had to reboot and type this in Qupzilla instead. BTW I’m was using space-jwm not icewm
                                  on 64-bit 4.14 kernel, not sure if that would’ve made a difference though.
