Thank you, loading default settings seems to have fixed it. Now writing on Webcat

Update: Version 2.4 is out now.

This version introduces some fixes aswell as some new features.
Mainly Pause/Resume support in downloadmanager and full bookmark editing.
I also added some speed/caching tweaking. This should allow to get a smoother experience on modern SailfishOS versions.

Enjoy

Changelog

Use theme.primaryColor when urlbar is focused (Closes #32)
Updated OpenDialog to show more mimetypes
Updated OpenDialog to use SailfishOS style of navigating (no more ..*folders to go one folder up instead just swipe back)
Allow full bookmark editing (including url)
Some performance tweaking for latest SailfishOS versions (more caching leads to slightly more memory usage but lesser reloading times of one page)
Added pause/resume function to download manager
Truncate download label (Closes #31)
Fixed image detection
Fixed long press on Image not opening up context menu
Updated translations

Update: 2.5 is out now.

This version brings some bugfixes regarding html5 video detection. Selection of multiple html5 video streams is working again and adding a newly detected media stream won't auto play it. This is especially helpful if you don't want to watch ads at the beginning of a video.
Apros pros ads the adblocker got couple of new rules to block even more ads by default without using tons and tons of memory for big adblocking lists.
The download manager which was a little bit hidden in a pulley menu in settings now is available from the bookmarksview. To fit it in there I removed the New Tab / Close Tab entries as those features are available in the bottom tabbar anyways.

That pretty much sums up all the major changes enjoy.

Changes

Fixed getImgFullUri to always get absolute paths
Updated adblock.css (Block more ads)
Fixed media selection for non youtube html5 audio&video
Only add media with the same url once to media selection
Fixed media selection underneath videoplayer component
Destroy videoplayer component on media selection
Prevent hitting play again if new media gets added to medialist
Make download manager available from pulley menu in bookmarksview
Removed download manager from settings
Removed New Tab / Close Tab from bookmarks menu pulley menu
Updated translations

Update: 2.6 out now.

This is a maintenance release to fix issues I discovered after updating to the Early Access Release of SailfishOS 2.1.0.9
This includes fixes for loading Youtube streams and video player component placement of the timeline and time.
I also updated the search engine URIs to use https whenever possible and cleaned up search engines not available anymore and added Baidu as search engine.

Changes:

Fixed loading custom user agent and allowing to edit it
Added Qt 5.6 / SailfishOS 2.1 Fix for getting youtube videos and showing correct MediaTitle in MediaDownloadRec
Videoplayer controls timeline and time use anchors bottom to fix positioning on SFOS 2.1 (Qt 5.6)
Updated SearchEngines to use https whenever possible
Added Baidu as search engine
Removed Izik search engine
Register dbus object before service (Closes #34) [Fix for SFOS 2.1 / Qt 5.6]

Be aware if you still running 2.0.x that the video player component change and the dbus change might break on those devices(1st just a visual glitch. 2nd might break "use as default browser"). I highly advise to wait until 2.1 final is out before upgrading then.

Update: Version 2.7 out now.

This version is the first version compiled with the new SDK so it will be only compatible with SailfishOS 2.1 (Qt 5.6)
Added now in filebrowser are cut,copy and paste functions.
The Proxymanager now supports sockets (without user + password) and there is a quicktoggle if you want to browse via tor. However you need tor installed from openrepos already and the service must be started as this quicktoggle will only set the correct socks proxy for using tor.

There are some speed improvements again for slightly higher speeds in scrolling and browsing using Qt 5.6

Changes:

Compiled against Qt 5.6 (compatible to SailfishOS 2.1 only)
Use higher timeout for InfoBanner (5 seconds)
Added cut, copy and paste functionality in filebrowser
Added socks support in proxymanager
Added quick toggle for setting tor proxy settings in proxymanager (you need to start tor service on your own)
Updated translations
Added description label to bookmarks to show url on long press contextmenu
Speed improvements (QT_PREDICT_FUTURE=1 QT_NO_FREE=0)

You can find the RPMs for i486 and armv7hl on openrepos.net

Will be added for next release.
I can really see slight speed improvements with them aswell and nothing seems to break even though Disable all Qt features sounds barbaric.
Maybe a placebo.

Don't do this please.
predict future, no bugs .. together with publication date of http://blog.qt.io/blog/2011/04/01/qt-hidden-gems/ it sounds like a april fool joke. I know some of them are in qt sources (at least in qt4) but -fkeep-programmers-inline looks hilarious.

Yeah as I said I expect a placebo effect out of it.
But adding it does not hurt anyone and its a funny easter egg.
