@Tsaukpaetra They're all kind of shit, really.
-
@Tsaukpaetra what is this @OffByOne browser?

LMGTFY:
http://offbyone.com/offbyone/It's a browser that's about 1 Mb in size.

Side note: Not many websites are HTML 3.2-ish compliant anymore. Especially those that use Javascript.

And apparently it's too small to know what "blank" means.

Yeah, they didn't program support for the
about:
protocol.So, I saved the blank page as a .html file in internet exploder and had it display that.
Filled under: not even going to correct that

Here are mine:

@Mikael_Svahnberg Dat shadow though, so sexy!
-
@Tsaukpaetra Not my fault; OSX adds them to all windows whether I want it or not (I normally don't; it is annoying when you are using a tiling window manager). When screenshotting a window it's rather nice, yes; especially since it filters out everything else from the background and just keeps the window and the shadow.

@Mikael_Svahnberg what the hell... Emacs has a browser plugin? I always kinda thought the "it's an operating system with integrated text editor" line was a joke...

Oh no, there's plugins for a lot of things, I keep hearing about them...
-
@Arantor I'm afraid it does, these days. Earlier they used w3m to get and render pages through a plugin. IMHO this worked better than the, since Emacs 25.0 built-in, all-written-in-lisp web browser EWW.
Just to re-balance your world even further:
-
@Tsaukpaetra No worry Sleipnir looks close enough to Firefox.
-
@cheong If that's what your
about:blank
looks like, you've got plugin problems…

Apparently it's a Japanese site, but I can't find the "Go to english version here" link anywhere, so
-
@dkf I don't have it installed on company's PC, so cannot screen capture that. Just suggest that it's unlikely Tsaukpaetra's company will block this website, therefore can provide link to the image from there.
No worry. Just got it here:

I can't even determine how to get it, so... To the Googles!

Ok, grabbed zip file, extracted, ran, failed to import stuff because Chrome is opened...

Created a new profile to see the default look. This what it look like when you open a new tab:
If I specifically enter
about:blank
in the address bar the page shown is indeed blank.You'll have to ask @Lorne-Kates for version 22.
Here's a screenshot on Windows 10. So different!
-
Bah.

More accurately, it's a full operating system, it's just missing a decent text editor.

Conkeror is a very nice little browser, I always liked it very much. I'll have to check if it's usable on Windows.
You like tools that make you type things, I see.

$ wget about:blank --2016-09-30 14:24:10-- ftp://about/blank => ‘blank’ Resolving about (about)... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address ‘about’
mmm, Ok. Maybe I need to specify the protocol
$ wget http://about:blank http://about:blank: Bad port number.
Looks like wget didn't implement about:blank
