I'm not sure if it's obvious but cntl-w to close a window is another good one.

thanks,

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Just installed the newer, simpler package. Yay, the dependency issues seem to be resolved!

:O Where did all this free space come from? Here as well, I almost thought it hadn't worked and Mozilla had just improved itself. Took some effort to convince myself it was indeed Webkit in use. Pronvit, you deserve a cake.

One free Interweb if you can add kinetics to finger scrolling!

And a note to the uninitiated: Gconf keys can be configured really easily using gconf-editor. It is available in the Extras Devel repository. Handy little utility. Gconf is like the Windows registry done right ;)

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

It's the War of the Webkits!

Tear has kinetic scrolling. :p And just got a 0.3 release. And I haven't fiddled enough with it yet :), but just as soon as I finish test-driving it, I'm definitely gonna try out webkit-eal, as it does sound rather sweet...

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

There, fixed for you ;)

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Heh, kinetic scrolling is just five lines of code. I simply don't want to implement it until I have scrolling itself fast and smooth enough on all websites. I think such feature either should work flawlessly or not be present at all. But it's likely to appear in next versions if people want it, with option to turn on/off.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

One significant difference from windows registry it that in gconf there's schema (or at least should) that defines all available keys with default values, documentation and who owns it, so it's not a scrapyard anymore.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Newbie here...

Can somebody please give me a quick tutorial on how to uninstall the old version. I'm such a newbie, the instructions given are too vague.

Thanks

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Wow thanks to everyone working on this. You all are amazing. I can't believe how much faster webkit is. Browsing the forums is almost as fast as my desktop. Each pages takes no more than 5 seconds to load. I'll say it again: this is amazing.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

do you really have my previous packages installed? do you have rootsh package installed?

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

I installed the previous version where I had to download and install 5 or 6 different packages. I got it to work just fine, (thanks btw) but I want to install the new version. I just don't exactly know how to run the command lines you posted "as root" in xterminal.

Thanks

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Hofer, see "rootsh" here.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

in app manager install 'rootsh' package.
then open xterminal and run 'root'

then type and execute commang given in that post

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Who wanted kinetic scrolling - here it is, in 0.0.10. https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=862 Configurable via GConf. Vertical only.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

I've found another thing that doesn't work: proxy settings are ignored (tested with privoxy)

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

you're right.. unfortunately..

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

By the way... can fonts be changed? They are almost unreadable to my poor old eyes.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Hmm.. zooming in doesn't help??

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

I'm trying now and zoom doesn't seem to work.
Correction: doesn't work here, internettablettalk; other pages work fine.
Anyway, zooming is much worse than minimum font size setting because on zoomed pages you have to scroll horizontally a lot.
Correction: it seems that in webkit engine zooming=increase font size

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Upgrading from 0.0.9 to 0.0.10, I don't see an option in GConf for kinetic scrolling. Where should it appear? Or is there something I have to do between versions?

thanks,
Frank

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

in gconf at path /apps/osso/browser/webkit.

but it's on by default, just try scrolling any page, notice any changes?

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

OK, I see it. Seems like a video limitation puts a damper on the effects.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Just got the nrew build and loving it! Is there a way to get plugins and downloading working? If so then i believe you have a hands down winner. I also noticed that tap and hold would not bring up a context menu.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

for me it works quite well.

my N78 doesn't want to focus while recoding video at all so I'm sorry for quality http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A55C70zC5cw



buhao, what plugins are you talking about? downloading is still needs to be implemented, working on this.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

There are two zoom modes, text only is the default, the other zooms everything.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

In a war there is usyally only one winner...
In my case you are both winners, I really like tear and i am using it as my primary browser. But Bundyos webkit has kind of a bug that shows some of page elements transparent. So i am using pronvit:s webkit and bundyos browser. :)

I still have to use microb for some pages, that have never worked with any WebKit engine i have tried.

Really awesome work, both of you !

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Just installed for the first time (with the new easy installer).
This update is a gem - thanks pronvit.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

im not entirely sure how thats even possible...

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

I am.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Lordy, it's like someone just took the iron ball off my legs here... Wow. This is some serious speed. Thank you for making this normal install (hate red pill)!

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

ah, symlink magic...

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

It's only on some web pages (this forum for example styleid=10) that scrolling is odd. On other pages it's very nice. So sorry for the false alarm.

Frank

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Actually only adblock-plus as of right now. I just installed greasemonkey to see if i could get that to work, but since i have no experience with it, i don't know if it is working or not. i believe that greasemonkey can do what adblock does, but adblock-plus is so easy to get up and running that i have never tinkered with greasemonkey.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Those are firefox extensions. They can be ported to microb because microb is firefox3 based, but no way they can work with webkit.
By the way, my wishlist would be:
- Download
- Proxy settings (so privoxy can clean some of the ad infestation)
- Minimum font size setting (good for aging eyes)
And, of course, some kind of control (whitelists with wildcards) for js and flash would be great.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

i thought greasemonkey was available for ie and google chrome as well.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

No, although there are now a number of similar extensions for other browsers. The wikipedia page has a good summary.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

Wow. I just had to thank you for porting webkit. I'm amazed how much faster the browsing experience is.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

I just use a host file, works great for whatever browser I'm using: http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...3&postcount=10

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

did this and it works ok although it seems to slow down rendering quite a bit and leaves a big white space where the ads were.

Re: WebKit engine for default browser
 

i wonder if the component system could be abused as a tweak system for webkit...
