    Useless browser because closed source, if company goes bankruptcy or anything then it will be vaporware just like opera was. With open source everyone could overtake maintenance. Better find more C++ coders for otter browser.

        If you don't like it, then they probably didn't have you in mind when they wrote that.

          While I don't disagree with that sentiment, a modern browser pretty much *has* to be open-source to truthfully claim it protects/respects users' privacy. It's a (sad) sign of the times.

                Native window support should help, when I maximised it under Enlightenment, I couldn't access my auto-hidden panel any more. I ditched it because it was a bit sluggish on my old netbook anyway. I may give it another try on my desktop soon.
