(Forwarding the question+answer to the mailing list) Hello Veren, In our previous episode, v10 said: > > It seems that Amaya still remain the editoring mode > behaviors that those elements in the loaded pages can be moved as you press > backspace or delete keys impurposely.

Amaya is a testbed editor/browser, that's why you can edit pages with it. For the moment, you can desactivate the editing mode by clicking on the pencil icon, on the button bar. We're currently working on a profiles feature for Amaya, which will allow the user to reorganize Amaya GUI in an easy way. We'll have a profile for browse-only mode and it'll remove all the buttons and menu items that concern edition. Note that this is only a run-time rejuggling of the Amaya GUI. The whole functionality will still be in the binary. This feature will be available on the next Amaya release. > I'm looking for an lightweight browser as my web browser development > study.

We don't have any plans for the moment to modify the makefile and the code to be able to compile a lighter Amaya "browse-only" binary. As the source code is available, feel free to peek a look and eventually make a contribution :) Regards, -Jose
