Re: Snowshoe QT5 web browser
 

Can you guys please make it easier to obtain and install for the less tech savvy group? It's discouraging to go through the steps described just to get an app running. Thanks!!

Quick question - is it any option for N900 browser, or some harmattanish things make porting infeasible?

If you are not in the "less tech savvy group" then perhaps you don't want to try this. Qt 5 is not even in Alpha stage today (maybe tomorrow).

Considering how bleeding edge all this software is, the steps to install and run it in the N9 are actually simple. I'm following Qt 5 development and I was impressed when this project was announced. Many experiments on Qt 5 these days just assume that you have *built* Qt 5 yourself.

By the way, for instructions etc better referring to their site:

(Showing a GitHub URL should also make things clearer to end users on what to expect).

Does this already support flash? If not, has anybody tried enabling it to see what happens?

Re: Snowshoe QT5 web browser
 

Well I guess i'll wait till the alpha build at least.
Anyone willing to put up some screens? I'd like a taste of this bleeding edge browser :D

Re: Snowshoe QT5 web browser
 

seeing how active is the development for this, I can't wait for the beta release. Start up is really fast now after updating qt5 , addons support for stuff like flash and greasemonkey would be awesome.

How smooth and fast is it compared to the stock browser?? :o

But it looks stunning!!

Re: Snowshoe QT5 web browser
 

not really usable, startup is fast but there is many problem with usage:
- swipe left-right for up-down
- pages won't load after pressing ente, it goes to about:blank
- bring up url bar by swiping on the tab bar
- change tabs by swiping on those dots
- screen is actually in landscape even though everything shows up in portrait (tap status bar and you will notice)
- options button doesn't work
- cant find away to add bookmark
- cant close tab
- elements style chooser on tmo doesn't work
- wait for the beta release.
