Otter browser would be a good option. It's floss and  on qt5, but it's required to compile it and install from source, since there is no .deb package.

I followed the instructions but on the second stage, I got:

root@devuan:/home/astheroth# mv /etc/xdg/Trolltech.conf /etc/xdg/bak.Trolltech.conf
mv: it couldn't be done `stat' over '/etc/xdg/Trolltech.conf': the file or directory doesn't exist.

root@devuan:/home/astheroth# mv /etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini /etc/gtk-3.0/bak.settings.ini
mv: it couldn't be done `stat' over '/etc/gtk-3.0/settings.ini': the file or directory doesn't exist

Any idea?

Well, Days ago I decided to give the Jump  from Linux Mint 17.03, my main distro since 2015 to Devuan ASCII.  In my last configuration I had installed FreeBSD, Windows7, and Haiku alongside Mint. To Install Devuan I decided to format all the HD and then adding the other OS. My first one was FreeBSD, but Devuan grub says it doesn't recognize the filesystem.

At the moment my /etc/grub.d/custom_40

menuentry 'FreeBSD' --class freebsd --class bsd --class os {
        insmod part_msdos
        insmod ufs2
        set root="(hd0,msdos1,bsd1 >)"
        kfreebsd /boot/loader
}

Perhaps the fourth or fifth combination I tried hmm

Another important data.

Making 

fdisk -l

gives:

#  fdisk -l

Any idea? I think that devuan's grub doesn't support UFS but, I am not sure

#5 Re: Devuan » A devuan manual, why not? » 2018-07-29 19:05:30

There is a lot of Debian Manuals. There is some book called The Debian Administrator Handbook Manual,6  I suppose that debian 6/7 version of it, could fit with devuan.The only thing is to read the literature for debian and pick some text which it license allows modifications to adapt it to devuan requirements, instead starting a new documentation project from scratch.
