Webkit notes

<< < (2/13) > >>

9.64 actually (!!). The great Qt purge in 10.5 to 11.something broke a lot of things, 12 is visibly slower in common things like opening and closing tabs.

Surf: I think I read that ML discussion. The one that ended up "requires a rewrite, not going to happen unless someone does the work"?

Gecko: I didn't look deeper than the official warnings that you shouldn't embed Gecko anymore, it's not really supported that way.

bmarkus:
I found NetSurf a usable browser for ordinary tasks, reading WEB pages and not playing games, watching video, etc. Rendering is good and it is not based on 3rd-party web engines. It is what I'm using on piCore.

Setting "Dialog Toolkit" to 4 , disabling special effects and UI animations in opera:config fixes all issues for me. I think it disables some aspects of QT.

Yes, apparently Webkit-1 is good enough for them. And yes, the mailinglist has gotten into a really strange tone lately. You need a good anti-virus for your brain there.

curaga:
4 is the X11 mode which I was using in my tests, unfortunately - the qt and gtk modes were even slower.

This leaves me wondering whether this is still about configuration. Or is my core 2 duo just too fast?
