No it's really not. Webkit is becoming the nowadays Internet Explorer actually.
Also, an old deprecated version of IE is a great likeness for the clunkiness and total lack of usability of Sailfish Browser.

You mean they SHOULD be separate things. Judging by Jolla's track record of doing updates in the past, they see the OS and all stock applications as one big, monolithic block.

But hey, I also liked grub on harmattan
The prove of open tabs :
P.S. I paid attention that if anything is not implemented or implemented poorly, suddenly "it's not needed" and "never used". I guess next thing would be "but I can use curl in terminal to browse web"

No matter how often you keep saying how much you hate it you're not going to change my mind about it

no, i mean sailfish-browser is separate project not showing state of sailfishos itself.
But all that is irrelevant. Why should I care about the internal politics of a random company? As far as I am concerned as a customer, Jolla has never released browser updates separate from the OS updates. By that alone, they indicate that they treat the browser as a monolithic, integral part of the OS. In that respect, they are worse than Microsoft, who at least release patches on a rolling basis. You do not need to wait for a new Windows to get a small security fix. Shame on Jolla, really.
Anyway, to get back to the topic, the comment was,

Anyway, SFOS2.0 should have a lot better web browser. The current stock browser is ridiculous and laggy. It has got even worse lately with every new update.

SailfishOS and Sailfish Browser are different things and not tied to each other.

SOS browser has gotten a lot better IMHO when it comes to UI in the latest update. But yes, it's still slow to launch and it has severe bugs like not being able to zoom on certain pages or even tap links on said pages (the whole page just seems to freeze). A little tweaking in about:config makes it faster to load pages though, but yes, too buggy for general use. Which is why I've used Webcat in the beginning and am using WebPirate ever since it was released. Esp. after setting WebPirate as the default browser I'm even more happy with it than I already was. Sure, it's not perfect but for a normal end-user like me, it's more than enough for casual web browsing (which is what I do no matter what browser I'm in anyway)
