This rocks! Engadget and Google Maps seem to work way better under Midori than Microb. Plus the open source nature of this makes me very happy. Great work!

What does the d-pad do? I think d-pad selects links (like s-nav in microb) and +/- scroll would actually be quite nice, especially in portrait.

And zoom is not implemented... Does it have font-sizing (like old firefox)? or totally nothing?

And, yes, I should try it out instead of asking dumb questions... But my N800 needs a reflash (I broke too much stuff by redirecting to SD card, then SD card died... :eek:), so I'm holding off on stuff.

This time, I'm gonna install Fanoush's boot-switcher stuff, run off a big partition on the SD, and have lots more room to install everything, especially on-tablet development stuff. And I gotta find out where Faheem got those wheels; gonna get me some o' them.

:))

I've already done that + 48MHz kernel for an additional flavor :)

As for Midori - the d-pad does the scrolling right now. Maybe some portrait detection will be good :)

WebKit has zoom, not sure about WebKitGtk, but in Midori there was some disabled code... maybe after some changes upstream the current code became obsolete. Didn't dig it too much :)

It works well with Speeddial. I wasn't sure of the right syntax for installing it via command line, so I used Red Pill mode and found the files needed -- the dependencies were two in Webkit.

If you go to www.learner.org and try to play a video course (such as The Western Tradition), you can't play a video -- Enter doesn't work. At least, I couldn't find a way. It works fine with the regular browser. Perhaps I should post this at software.twotoasts.de.

Midori is noticable faster than Microb. We don't need benchmark numbers to see it's faster, we can feel it :)

Great job done!

Re: New Port: Midori - a Webkit based browser
 

It requires registration. How exactly is this playing with the normal browser? Some plugin or opens it in the default media player?

I didn't configure any handlers for the links, also there are no plugins, so maybe that's the problem.

Re: New Port: Midori - a Webkit based browser
 

I registered. Are you by any chance using the mplayer plug-in?

Also it seems the site is using javascript to open a new window. That fails.

Re: New Port: Midori - a Webkit based browser
 

cool, thanks.

This is really cool. Yes, there are some issues with it, but with a bit of work this thing will be king. Unlike what others have said, for me it loads in about half hte time as microb and it renders pages significantly faster as well. I also love the fact that I am using webkit since I am a KDE fanboy ;)

Re: New Port: Midori - a Webkit based browser
 

It seems like a good early effort. Thanks! I like having tabs, and it might be faster. It's hard to tell. GMail doesn't load at all. And without a way to zoom, it's too hard for me to get enough use out of it to want to test it much. In addition to not zooming, it seems that my changing the minimum and standard font sizes had no effect. It is true that Google Maps renders much better than in MicroB. (Although, once again, for my eyesight, at least, it's too hard to see comfortably without a zoom option.)
