Setting different user agent for specifig bookmark is not working for me. Meaning, that normally I am surfing as a desktop user agent, but then I want specifig bookmark to always open on mobile site and use the jolla default agent for example.
Is this working for others? There should be this kind of functionality, right?
Also on some web pages I have noticed that somehow the link clicking gets too sensitive. Often when I am only sooming to somewhere on the page I end up clicking some link my fingertips crossed over.
Absolutely great job on this browser, thank you for the developer. This is way better thsn default.

Maybe the website you test saves cookies and the old user agent with it.
Have you tried reloading the site with the reload button ?

I don't see a way to fix that without recompiling Qt 5 (which is again something that Jolla must do as it is a core system library and I cannot ship it with the Webcat browser)
Absolutely great job on this browser, thank you for the developer. This is way better thsn default.

It is working here.

Nothing happens. It always stays on the same user agent I am generally using. I also tried changing the general user agent, at this instance also all the bookmarks change to it as well.
Any suggestions? Should I try clean install? If so what would be the best course of action? I would not like to do it, because I have several bookmarks, but if it is the only way...

Hmm... this is hard to debug.
But maybe there is an error in saving the bookmark with the different user agent.
Could you execute the browser from the terminal and see if there is any suspicious output.

Sorry if this is has been asked already but have you considered:
1. Adding a way to lock orientation not only of individual tabs but of Webcat in general (including Bookmarks view + tabs not yet opened)? It's weird to have the Bookmarks view in portrait mode when you were browsing a tab in landscape mode. Ideally, this would be an option in Webcat's settings, and locking/unlocking orientation of individual tabs would still be possible, and prioritized so that locking/unlocking a tab would override default behavior in general settings.
2. Adding a way to restore last session? Sailfish Browser has it and it is very convenient, you never have to worry about closing the browser, you'll get it as it was when you closed it. Can be very useful especially on a mobile OS where it can be cumbersome to manually restore tabs on start-up (it already is with desktop browsers, but I'm especially lazy for sure!). By the way, I didn't see any History in Webcat. That would be a very useful addition, don't know if this is planned!
3. Please reduce the height of the "Copy" button in the Webcat's clipboard-edit screen. It makes it unusable in landscape mode because one cannot view what he is typing or editing. A simple swipe-right-to-left-to-confirm-copy would free all space to allow viewing the content being edited, and still be Sailfish-spirit-friendly. By the way, I know it's not its purpose, but please keep this feature! It's very handy to write/edit rather long texts when input fields are not ideal for mobile browsers. For instance here, I needed to edit my message but couldn't reach the end of it in the regular TMO quick-reply field, while scrolling lines of my message was very easy in the clipboard-edit view. Only problem is that when you're back to the TMO post field and need to replace the outdated text, you have no way to select all without overwriting the clipboard. This is a general issue with Sailfish's clipboard that automates copy on select, it can be very inconvenient when you need to replace long texts.
[Edit] However, it seems that the "Copy" button does not copy anything if the Sailfish browser is already full after using the regular Sailfish way (for instance when writing an SMS). I have an sms I copied in the clipboard currently, and using the Webcat copy feature won't overwrite it. Needs some more testing.
Anyway, after some time off TMO, I see that this application have kept improving! It was already awesome, but now it's even more a must have! Thanks a lot for the sustained efforts and great work!

Sounds complicated to me. But I take a look at it.

Or if you don't want to do that, you can always hold a finger on the screen while rotating and set a temporary lock that way.
I don't think it needs to by implemented app by app when there's a system wide solution.
EDIT: I know the feature has been in Webcat since before this system setting was available...

Webcat was my favourite browser in the beginning, as it could show the traffic situation in The Netherlands through
http://www.anwb.nl/verkeer
while the native browser 1) forgets the region viewed most recently and 2) the vkb pops up for no reason at all.
But since recent Webcat only shows the map. The overlay with the traffic situation will not be shown. So I am back with the native browser, struggling to get my area into view...
Dear llelectronics, could you help me on this one?
Thanks, Rob
