I've been running the older one on my linux install (gentoo ps3) for quite a while. Works great. Very snappy and the zoom is killer

Oh, I was hoping there would be a Opera browser for the XMB

I know Opera works with NIN for DS, and not sure, but perhaps Wii as well. Shouldn't be hard, for them to implement O into the XMB, just look at F@H.
Although, there is like 1% chance of this happening, as it would be mean Sony would think of that as losing control of their own browser.
Would be a great alternative, as I find the PS3 browser, as just a browser nothing more.

I just wonder why the PS3 browser isn't as good as it should/could be yet. The power is there, and if it runs out of memory there's still the HDD that could work as virtual RAM and whatnot. I read a while ago that it was based on Mozilla, although I don't know to what extent and whether that's a good thing or not.
If only I could use Firefox

You can find some more info about PS3 browser here (written 2006-12-05)

I think the "featureless" is rooted from the fact that NetFront is a mobile browser before everything. But I am sure that neither Sony nor Access will sit still for competition to take over. I think the Sony chose using NetFront because the costs of development, maintenance, support and license are shared between PSP, PS3, and Sony Ericsson.
Opera is good browser, but I doubt Sony nor the consumer would want to pay the extra.

Oh, I see. Thank you amuront
This must be why people believed it was based on Mozilla.Its user agent string is cloaked, falsely reporting as Mozilla/5.0 (PLAYSTATION 3; 1.00).

Is there a thread in here somewhere that explains everything?

It's more of a geek thing I guess. I run Gentoo (another linux distro) on mine. Here's what I've got mine set up for:What exactly is the advantage to using YDL anyways?
*is too lazy to find out himself*
+ Programming - I can play around with coding for the SPUs
+ Emulation - I've got a NES and SNES emulators on there... I need to put some more time in getting them set up correctly so I can use the pad.
+ Media Center - I mounted a share on my PC in the other room so I can stream videos off it onto my HDTV
+ Geek - You've got to admit, it's pretty fucking sweet to SSH into your PS3 at home from work
Linux isn't so user friendly (at least gentoo isn't...) but it's fun. I'm glad Sony let us do this out of the box. Now about that RSX access Sony...
umbasa
That's sealed the deal for me. Does YDL run emus as well, or is it just for the one you use?
Citizen
I'm sure any will, it will probably just be a fair bit of work to set up.
umbasa
I can deal with that.
If all else fails, I end up sending a plate of melons Garf's way
You must love your fellow as yourself
Yup Emulation is probably the biggest draw for it....I run Ubuntu on my Home desktop and really just wanted another media center with my PS3. But just tweaking the formats of videos a bit, I've been able to make my PS3 a media center by just using the XMB. And the firmware updates allows me to download vids online with PS3's browser. (which ain't too bad at all)
So yeah, if your gonna get some old classics on your Linux-go for it, but if not, you can pretty much do everything with the standard OS...

Nor can there be a greater proof of its decadence than the fact that the nearer people are to the Church, the head of their religion, the less religious are they.”

Righty-ho, I think I'm gonna go and download YDL right now! Need something to fill my 60GB with, so I guess it'll be emus
