Hey @alcinnz , in one post, why do I want to swap out my distro's default web browser for #Odysseus?

@strypey There's a couple angles to this:

1) It has an aesthetic specifically tuned for elementary OS. I find this reduces the mental switches I have to do. (DONE)
2) Better integration with decentralized web technologies (IN-PROGRESS though well on my way). Addresses the adoption hurdles of ones not already integrated with AppCenter (and equivalent) integrations.
3) Low-maintenance and high-reward navigation aids (IN-PROGRESS).

Does this help?

@alcinnz sounds cool. The #Trisquel community have been discussing browser options for some time, as we become increasingly disturbed by some of the stuff going on over at #Mozilla. Is Odysseus a fork of an existing browser, or built from scratch?

@strypey Interesting.

You now have me trying to figure out how to excel for Trisquel.

One question: does Trisquel support the AppStream standard? Because while Odysseus will run perfectly fine without it, I do rely on it to ease adoption of, say, magnet: links.

@alcinnz AppStream? Good question, no idea. Trisquel is based off #Ubuntu, and has everything Ubuntu has minus the non-free stuff, and with #Mate instead of #Unity/ #GNOME. I'm still using Trisquel 7, which was based off 14.04, but most folks are already on 8, based off 16.04. The devs are now working on 8, which will be based off 18.04, so that would be the release to target for possible inclusion (at least in the repo).
