Talk:Otter Browser

Notability\Move to Software Wiki?
There have been some concerns raised over the notability of this browser. If it turns out not to be notable, here's an idea from WikiProject Software:

"Software Wikia is a wiki specialised on software using semantic extras. If a nice article does not have the required Notability, simply export it and ask an admin for an import there".

Another possibility is merging this into Vivaldi (web browser). Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 09:53, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

It should be stated that user can choose between both engines Qt WebEngine, QtWebKit. Except for the abandonded Rekonq and Ultralig.ht (that is not a browser but a html renderer )I cannot recall any pure Webkit-based browser supporting Microsoft Windows anymore. Almost all rely purely on QTwebengine. Rekonq was not continued in 2014. 2013 was the last year QT got updates without mandatory QTWebengine. https://www.qt.io/blog/2013/09/12/introducing-the-qt-webengine " Qt Software included a WebKit port in the Qt 4.4 release as a module called QtWebKit[72] (since superseded by Qt WebEngine, which uses Blink instead). " Some users recall that the AppleWebKit/602.1 user-agent string was displayed when using the browser: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/vdq7td/browser_engine_in_otter/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Otter_Browser

Since this was written in 2016 I think the relevance of the "Otter browser" seems to be theire. I would suggest to change the info box with the additional info that QTWebengine is optional but not by default used. Anyhow I never used it and this also means that the users have the choice between an updated rendering engine and a pretty old one (if Im not missing something). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8388:4501:1F00:2557:90B:C06C:C458 (talk) 16:38, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

"Origins" section is virtual gibberish

 * It seems like the section is talking about Vivaldi rather than Otter Browser? 46.188.132.53 (talk) 11:48, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

History
It was not just Presto what the new Opera has dropped after the 12.X series, it was the entire browser. The new "Opera" was literally a skinned Chromium. 188.143.92.194 (talk) 17:33, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
