Other browser support

[dananick]

I am looking to have this running on my headless raspberry pi. It is low power and i do not think it supports firefox... can I get some help setting up another low powered server in a virtual x server. I don't have a gui running on it so i don't know how this can be implemented...

Basically, the idea is, that you don't need a GUI running - so it's perfect for your case. I think you can compile Firefox for ARM - maybe it will take a long time (couple of hours or even a day) - but I think it will work.

The question is: which browser do you want to use on that raspberry pi? I choose Firefox because I had problems with Chrome running Fullscreen.

One thing to take care of: Xvfb has an memory leak, which will be fatal on a raspberry pi, so you need to restart your Xvfb server after every screenshot.

I just read my original post, sorry i was in a rush when typing it.. I have Midori working with ingress intel, so i guess support for that. I have a few things going and I am afraid firefox will bog everything down and increase load.

I'm curious of the issues you experienced surrounding the use of Chrome, I haven't tried it yet, but I had hoped that it might be an option due to it (in my experience on other systems) loading and rendering such javascript-heavy sites more quickly...

I never used chrome it was midori, already precompiled on the pi for low overhead
