What is BrowseX FOR LINUX?

BrowseX

BrowseX is a free, open-source web browser that does a lot more than just browsing. It’s got email features, chat options, and even a database interface with SQLite. The cool part? It works on multiple platforms! Built mainly using C and Tcl, BrowseX shows us that Linux apps can play nicely with Windows too.

Dynamic Configuration

You can easily tweak any widget or form field in real time just by using the Shift-Control mouse button combo. Plus, it comes with TML, which is a CGI and web scripting tool that's built right in. Want to see how it works? Check out the BrowseX documentation, which uses TML to showcase everything!

User-Friendly Features

BrowseX shines in two main areas: resilience and responsiveness. Thanks to Tcl handling most high-level tasks, you won’t run into crashes; instead, you'll get helpful pop-up dialogs if something goes wrong. Its lightweight design and clean widget-based setup help keep things running smoothly.

Easy Installation

You can grab precompiled binaries for both Linux and Win32 systems. The binary is a standalone executable but also includes the Tcl scripts—pretty neat, right? There’s even a unified build script for Linux users who want to rebuild from scratch.

Key Features of BrowseX

• HTML 3.2+ support via tkhtml with cool extensions like frames.


• Safe-Tcl scripts embedded within HTML pages (think pop-ups).


• A handy tcl-macro preprocessor for client and server use.


• A built-in Postgres Database client available through Safe-Tcl.


• Great image handling for GIFs, JPEGs, PNGs (you can control animated GIFs too).


• Support for background images and image maps.


• Multiple views including frames and forms.


• Caching options for web pages/gifs and DNS lookups.


• A simple way to manage bookmarks (though there's no editor yet).


• Email support with MIME types and folder management capabilities.


• SSL/TLS support minus certificate management for security.

This makes BrowseX not just an average browser; it’s packed with features that help you do more online!
