DESCRIPTION

another application. Furthermore, one can point surf to another URI by setting its
XProperties.

PLUGINS
For using plugins in surf, first determine your running architecture. Then get the
appropriate plugin for that architecture and copy it to /usr/lib/browser-plugins or
/usr/lib64/browser-plugins. Surf should load them automatically. If you want to use a
32bit plugin on a 64bit system, nspluginwrapper(1) will help you.
