but you can always improve...- you can easily change so you never reach mobile pages. how to change user agant in jolla?
- you can't get access to URL field without reloading or go to browser task manager.
-browser task manger is not well designed its to messy, bad visibility , not responding fast when you do stuff fast.
- you can only have one browser window open so to load several pages at once you need several browsers...e.g youtube stop playing when you go to another tab in browser so need several
-no gestures in jolla browser
-copy and paste
-click links in jolla browser is a lottery.
-navigation in different forms needs different browsers since they handle it different
will split screen come to phone?
could add some more but these are my top.
I think jolla has improved alot during the year. but the still have far to go

Also some people want the tabs to be always visible on the top or bottom of the screen never mind the smaller screen area for actual content. Many android browsers offer fancy extra features like complex gestures etc.

I hope someone from the community can send a patch upstream to get this working, but it seems there's not much interest in doing so. I do agree it doesn't really need much more, it's just a bare bones browser for mobile phones after all.

I'd prefer if all these browsers that aren't Firefox would at least use Gecko, but Webkit is apparently what the cool kids use. This is something I actually quite like about Jolla's browser, it's not just yet another Webkit browser.

This [browser tap lottery] was fixed in update 9, no more problems now.
I left the edit box where you type your post on TMO and when I tapped back in the box to continue typing, one of the buttons above it got pressed. Quite reprodicly. I think I triggered it by screen rotation but I am not 100% sure.

Incidentally, I had a play with WeatherBug from the Amazon store. It uses Google Maps still so it's not 100% working. I would have thought Amazon would have blocked apps that used Google Play Services in their store.
