Well, most of it works very well. Small annoyances can be easily worked around, pending a proper fix (and those will not need to be documented, once they are fixed). The biggest challenge is to learn how to use Dooble. It is somewhat different than old browsers that we have had. I did install a windows version, and it seems to be much the same (without the bugs).
I have installed to a number of machines now. Some were not completely updated to Pentium4 before installing (they were kept up to date, using ANPM, but not changed to Pentium4), and Dooble works fine. The best install experience was after I installed the DejaVu fonts (from HOBBES). Dooble picked them up automatically.
For those of you who don't want to use ANPM (RPM/YUM), give your head a shake, and learn to use it. If you keep things up to date, you usually don't have problems (it is far from perfect, but YUM is a very complex program, and ANPM makes it a lot easier). Trying to do all of that manually will be a lifetime project, and you will probably miss things (it is a lot more than just DLLs).
I agree that "most of it works very well". While using ANPM to install it gave the usual warning of dependencies installation, there didn't appear to be any installed. However, since I used it to Update All last night, perhaps this was the reason.
The only trouble I had was when I tried to download an ODT documentation file from GitHub. (Like you, I wanted to find out how to use it, since the settings (or Preferences) menu is a bit opaque.) First the page didn't display all the apparent text; however since I forgot the recommendation about Fonts, this could have been the problem. Then clicking on the ODT file didn't result in a download; right clicking on it so as to save the link didn't work either since Dooble then froze and required me to kill the process; though the Save window remained open after the killing, clicking on OK didn't save it, as apparently the killing of Dooble prevented it. I finally booted the Linux volume to access <https://github.com/textbrowser/dooble/tree/master/Documentation> to download it.
Still, it, even in the Preview stage, is a clear improvement over FF 45.
