Re: Jolla Phone and Google Play Store
 

Just out of interest, what's wrong with the Jolla stock browser? It certainly has everything that I need. In the order of preference: tabs, great speed, excellent rendering quality, history, bookmarks, download capability... the only two things I miss are copy&paste (yes, I know about the patch but that requires a patch manager first, ewww!) and view page source.

Nothing is really wrong ;) 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 :D

Re: Jolla Phone and Google Play Store
 

The browser has an annoying habit of not knowing where you tapped some of the time.
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.

It's not possible to install any Firefox add-ons (at least not easily). Of course, this isn't possible on the Webkit browsers like Webcat and Web Pirate either, but it's still something that would greatly benefit Jolla's browser. 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.

This was fixed in update 9, no more problems now. (Finally, I wonder how that even slipped by QA.)

Tabs always visible: use another browser, namely this one: https://openrepos.net/content/dax/webpirate

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.

Re: Jolla Phone and Google Play Store
 

I suppose that has a lot to do with WebKit being included in Qt (it also originated as the web rendering engine of KDE's Konqueror back in the day, sometimes I forget about that :p ).

Also, browser history is difficult to use in landscape mode: https://together.jolla.com/question/...andscape-mode/

Does Jetpack option work well? Also do you use adblock for dolphin?
Thanks!

Re: Jolla Phone and Google Play Store
 

I don't know. I don't need it. My phones are always fastest of the fastest and I don't visit pages with ads :D You have to try it and tell me, sorry ;)

Re: Jolla Phone and Google Play Store
 

So I have been told. It did happen to me occasionally in U9 too, although about 100x less frequently than in U8. And guess what? It just happened to me now, in U10 :) 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.
