I'm getting rather annoyed with Firefox. I don't want to get into |
| 2 |
that flamewar right now. I'm trying to migrate to UZBL. The latest git |
| 3 |
version is a lot better than the stale stable version. The uzbl-9999 |
| 4 |
ebuild is broken (yes, I've filed a bug), so I pull directly from git |
| 5 |
and build and install to ~/.local. It's a steep learning curve, and |
| 6 |
I've gradually resolved almost every issue. The last reason to have |
| 7 |
Firefox or Opera hanging around is Flash. I subscribe to NHL GameCenter |
| 8 |
Live and Live365.com, so Flash functionality is mandatory for me. |

The git version of UZBL requires a recent version of webkit, which |
| 11 |
requires gtk3. Flash is a gtk2 program, so it doesn't work. I've heard |
| 12 |
that the 2 options are... |
| 13 |
1) Running Flash in nspluginwrapper |
| 14 |
2) Using Gnash to replace Flash |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
How are people's experiences with the 2 options above? |
