Outdated for Windows. While it appears to install, the browser doesn't open. Repair doesn't help.
Last stable Windows version is from 2014, snapshot link doesn't work (last change in code: 2019).
First off, conkeror is a lovely browser which unfortunately uses XULRunner so is outdated now. Too bad as I did really enjoy using it.
Looking at the list of alternatives, only one - QuteBrowser - is an actual browser. The rest are add-ons for either firefox or chrome which is something entirely different from conkeror. And also something entirely different from what I want.
I'd rate conkeror as 5 stars but since it uses "obsolete technology " it's going to end up falling by the wayside. Way to go Mozilla!
