Re: Sailfish 2.0 Upgrade 14 Discussions

At first I thought that we have a new update rolling out but there is just offtopic here...
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.
Tablet experience gets poor if there is no good web browser (an essential thing).

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

It's awful. STOP USING IT. There's no excuse now not to use WebPirate as it's in the Jolla Store, rather than just OpenRepos. It still suffers all the performance issues that native Sailfish apps have, but its features, compatibility, UI & lack of bugs are on a different planet compared to Sailfish Browser. These are the efforts of a one man band, over what, 7 months? Compared with Jolla's 3 years of development of SF Browser. It's shameful. Firefox / Opera in Alien Dalvik are still much faster, but for such a small project, Web Pirate is a great piece of work and IMO the best software currently available for Sailfish.

It's got to the stage where the stock browser is so bad and so behind, I'd like to see Jolla abandon it entirely and pay a stipend for the maintenance of WebPirate / WebCat or split search revenue, shipping an update with a prompt to install one or both.

WebPirate is nice in features, but overall UI is uugly :(

Re: Sailfish 2.0 Upgrade 14 Discussions

i like webpirate but the zooming and what not feelings very clunky and that seems like its more the webkits fault.

Have you used 1.0? It looks better than earlier versions, plus animations / transitions / swipes are a lot smoother. Anyway, that can be worked on in the future, but the UX as opposed to pure aesthetics aren't even comparable to SF Browser. It's comical how bad the latter is.

Re: Sailfish 2.0 Upgrade 14 Discussions

I just don't get the dislike of sailfish browser, I kinda like it :D It's fast, smooth and who the **** opens more than 3 tabs on a mobile browser anyways...

But hey, I also liked grub on harmattan :D

itd be nice for me to view what IP I am through the settings menu. This shouldnt require a separate application

Or avahi support, so we don't have to type IPs. We have (m)DNS for a reason!

If your point of reference for fast and smooth is Grub on Harmattan, then it's awesome. Compared with virtually anything else, it's absolute shite.

Re: Sailfish 2.0 Upgrade 14 Discussions

I wanted to say that when the tablet comes out it should have a good browser. Yes, I know that the OS itself is not tied with the browser but one can expect a good browser on SFOS 2.0 Tablet.
Webpirate is showing some web sites incorrectly. Thats why I have to use the native browser.

Open this http://www.eksote.fi/fi/terveyspalve...t/default.aspx
with WebPirate. It does not scale the page correctly.
