Je teste un peu sur un coup de tête Gnome Web (aka "Safari on Linux" tmtc… Ou #Epiphany sinon) et franchement je suis réellement agréablement surprise par comment le bousin fonctionne bien ces derniers temps. La dernière version en date tourne pépère sur mon portable, rend les pages correctement tout en se payant le luxe de permettre une navigation fluide. Franchement c'est cool à utiliser.
Et les petites animations de glissement quand on avance ou recule dans l'historique (la gesture 2 doigts vers la gauche et droite) est… Mouah 😩🤌
Même la navigation sur Sharkey sur une autre instance du Fédi se fait correctement alors qu'en terme d'UI tous les forks de Misskey (compris) sont d'effroyables usines à gaz. C'est moins fluide que sur Firefox mais c'est plus qu'encourageant sachant que dans un passé vraiment pas lointain Epiphany c'était… encore assez compliqué, à l'utilisation.
Je n'aime juste pas le scrolling inertiel tel qu'il fonctionne actuellement sur WebkitGTK parce qu'il est incroyablement capricieux (et fait tâche par rapport au reste des applications GTK3 et 4 qui n'ont pas ce problème)
Il ne manque plus que le support des extensions de Firefox :blob_cat:
Anyone with recent experience with #GnomeWeb / #Epiphany browser? Is it any good for someone who doesn't want to get lost in technical stuff? And maybe isn't all that bright to start with?

Today is the #Epiphany, the end of the #TwelveDaysOfChristmas.¹
In #Ireland, though, this day is also known as Nollaig na mBan, a.k.a. Little Christmas.²
It is hard to find a root of this tradition, but it is a feast dedicate to #women: they take a break from all the work of the past days, and they can celebrate as they wish. 🎉
Beware of other traditions, though, as removing all the Christmas tree decorations before the end of the day, or there will be bad luck! 🚫🍀
But don't forget to keep the #Christmas holly! It is good to use it for the fire to cook pancake on Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras³, the day before #Lent!
Infuse your Christmas holidays with some paganism: Italian folklore is here to help.
Originated in Rome, the Befana is a witch that brings sweets and candy to good children in the night between Jan 5 and Jan 6.
You can reward her by living some lentils and wine (she really loves wine).
Beware if you've been bad. In recent times she will fill your socks with coal, but there are some darker story out there. #Befana#epiphany#folklore#Italy
I've been considering my relationship with my phone recently. I'm not on it all the time but I think I rely on it for distraction when I'm bored.
Today I took Kid4 to the dentist and when I got there, the waiting room was full. Eight other people plus Kid4 and me. I got a message from a friend when we got there and I typed a response, then put my phone away and talked to Kid4, because he doesn't have a phone and I thought well, it's a bit rude to sit there on mine and ignore him.
I looked around and every other person in the waiting room was looking at their phone.
Obviously I understand the desire to do that! But out of those eight, there were two families: two parents with two kids each. All looking at phones.
It felt... a bit weird to notice that. Like in a book or film where the characters realise that something strange is going on and the whole world is in the clutches of the aliens or whatever.
I feel as though there's opportunities for connection that are being missed, and I have decided I don't want to miss them anymore.
Restarting your apps while the network is offline makes you realize some things are silly… like needing to click the Reload button in #web#browsers' error pages, when they very well know when the operating system is fully back online anyway.
Therefore, I filed a request for #GNOMEWeb / #Epiphany to do that for me when #GNOME / #NetworkManager signals that online connectivity has been restored: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2230

This #Episcopalian thanks you! 💞🕊
I call what's being sold on TV 'The Winter Retail Frenzy' to distinguish it from the Feast of the Incarnation that follows #Advent
The feast lasts 12 days & finishes at #Epiphany
I feel sorry for folks who whip themselves into #capitalist tizzies & then get all postpartum on 12/26
But here in #Tacoma#PNW the holiday lights are a survival strategy for long dark. The more the Better! 🙆🏻♀️🌧☔🎑
There is such a unique issue with Firefox's inertial scrolling on Linux that's super hard to explain.
With normal inertial scrolling you kinda "fling" the page, right? Like, a hard two finger swipe up followed by lifting your fingers off the trackpad leads the page to keep scrolling. Normally with that kind of system you can put your fingers back onto the trackpad and "catch" the page so it stops scrolling.
Firefox on Linux doesn't do that, and will only cancel the "fling" when you scroll again. So, instead of just needing to rest my fingers on the trackpad again, I need to put them on the trackpad then scroll up or down to cancel the fling. It's a really subtle issue, so I'm not exactly sure how to look it up to see if it's been reported or how to report it as an issue.
@Rusty If you're looking for a Safari-like experience on Linux, you might be pleased to hear that #GNOMEWeb (#Epiphany), by virtue of being GTK4 native, already has kinetic touchpad scrolling that stops on tap like you want it to.
From personal experience there have been a good amount that worked (discourse forums, some sites local transportation sites in germany) but a few that didn't.
I definitely missed something, I just installed #Epiphany and it's very much usable on my #Pinephone by now. Even after they got hardware acceleration the app was barely usable and now it seems to be very smooth for any app on that device, especially a web browser! It's still not the fastest but I might switch to it as my main browser or at the very least as secondary one behind #Angelfish because I prefer the interface! Dose anyone know what happened exactly? #Gnome#Linuxphone
Jokes aside, this is likely better than #GitLab's search in many respects, when you're looking for a bug globally; unfortunately #DuckDuckGo as the search provider doesn't seem to work as accurately there, you get results from other sites and "exact expressions" are not respected.
Also, I could have searched specifically for gitlab.gnome.org, but want wiki too.
Let's try to have better #browsers engines representation in the CanIUse.com website, as most #webdev#developers use it as reference to consider whether to use a particular feature or not in their website, framework or #web application.
Requesting the addition of @WebKitGTK (for #WebKitGTK based browsers like #Epiphany / #GNOMEWeb) to that website, to clearly represent the state of supported features compared to @webkit
