Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, the Otter Browser is an open source browser, similar to the good old Opera 12 Browser, with a interface developed in Qt5 and WebKit.
The latest version available is Otter 0.3.01, coming with an option to set a custom User agent, got support for PAC, implemented a “Reuse Current Tab” option and other small bug-fixes. For more information, see the official changelog.
In this article I will show you how to install the Otter 0.3.01 on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, Elementary OS and Crunchbang.
Because it is not available via any repository or PPA yet, we have to download the deb packages from sourceforge and install them with dpkg.
