It's impossible to make a "real" AdBlock with the current QtWebKit implementation (Qml side).
Other known issues are:
- Proxy Support
- Geolocation
- Plugins Support (for example, flash)
- Unsupported tags like <video> and <svg> (bypassed with Javascript injections and polyfills)
- Pixel Ratio detection (bypassed with a hack)
- The current WebKit implementation (taked from a 2010 development tree, very old for today standards) is vulnerable to FREAK attack and the most recent LogJam
- QtWebkit does not detect when the phone loses internet connection, forcing the user to restart the whole application
Me and Webcat's developer have fixed some other issues using Javascript injections, pushing the current QtWebKit implementation beyond its limits, this gives a fairly good browsing experience (but, not perfect, after all ).
For me, these native browsers are a good alternative until Jolla improves its browser.
When (and if) Jolla switches to Qt >= 5.4 (better 5.5), things can be improved using the new QtWebEngine and the missing things can be implemented without issues (I hope :P), and yes, in that case I can consider to develop a real AdBlock implementation.

Yes, also QtWebKit is deprecated, and that's one more reason for switch their browser to Gecko.
Also, I think that Qt Company have deprecated QtWebKit too soon, giving us, developers, a rendering engine implementation that it is incomplete (QtWebKit 3.0, in Qml), and another one that it isn't 100% complete (QtWebEngine in Qt 5.4).
QtWebEngine implementation is usable in Qt 5.5, but it is in beta state now.

Are those 33 tabs active (automatically updating live content)? I'm willing to bet 5RUB, they are not, so you have 32 cached pages, and only one tab, not really impressive.
Also who the hell browses pages, you send an email to a program to fetch it and email back to you, the real open source fanboi way
(btw webcat has active tabs, so they load new posts on imageboards in the background, but yeah, doubt 30 tabs will work, 32 'bookmarks' plus one tab isn't really that taxing)

@ZogG I think you insist a bit too much on this: I am not sure many people would claim the 3-limit tab as a nice feature.
If you have more with BB10, good for you.
Let me add one point: this is clearly possible to have much more than 3-tab in sailfish os browser, but usually only 3 are kept in memory, so that if you have more, you may have to reload the tab if you want it back.
That limit is probably more related to Jolla phone than to the SFOS browser per se: they had to do that because Jolla phone is having less memory than most competitors.
We can hope for more optimisation for sure and it will come at some point
BB10 and its browser (because this is what you use mostly) is maybe more optimised in that regards, at least for the moment.
I know that the point is made so often but for sure, Jolla is a small company (compared to any other competitor) and by far. They cannot work on all aspects at the same time, they do prioritize and much more than other companies.
We know the weaknesses
and we know the strengths.
to have a Jolla is more to be in a (small) boat for a journey than to be in the beach taking the sun
