Web browser for displaying results

[devius]

What browser do I need to display the results? I tried Konqueror and Chromium. With konqueror it only shows a big block of text with all the results. With chromium it doesn't show anything at all. What's going on? I remember seeing the results in other browsers other than Firefox, namely Opera.

Here's the problems with those two browsers:

Konqueror: It has a problem with rendering XML/XSL.

Chrome / Chromium: doesn't support displaying XML or XML with XSL stylesheet... i.e. http://www.google.com/support/forum/...941e01d3&hl=en

As far as I know, these are the only two major problematic browsers. I use Epiphany and Firefox and others without issues. I've never tried Opera.

P.S. you can always just upload the results to Phoronix Global and view the results there, since that doesn't use XML+XSL for rendering but straight HTML markup.

Ok thanks.
Lucky me. I just happened to choose the only browsers that have problems with xml+xsl. Very disappointing that chrome/chromium doesn't support this. You know something is very wrong with a browser when even IE has that feature. I'll try a few browsers out to see which ones work and which don't and then report back.

Michael, could you blacklist Opera 9 so that no svg is shown for this browser? There's some support, but it's not really usable.

I haven't tested Opera 10 w/ the svg of the kernel tracker.

PS: Opera 10 reports the version as 9.80, so maybe blacklist < 9.8?

curaga: As far as the phoronix-test-suite client goes, unfortunately I cannot blacklist browsers per se. If using like one of the generic XDG www open commands, I have no easy way to find out what browser is actually the default let alone what version the browser is. Well, I could write a bunch of checks rather than relying upon the default browser, but last time I did that there was lots of complaints from people who would have Epiphany open up rather than Firefox, etc.

Though for OpenBenchmarking.org and those embedded graphs that will be used on Phoronix.com and such for providing SVG graphs on supported browsers, I will definitely take note of the Opera 9 issue and blacklist that so it will fallback to a PNG renderer there.

OK, that was to be expected.

Thanks!
