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?
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
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
Now that #WebKit, #Safari, Epiphany, etc. support this, I really hope we will see #Mozilla finish the job and flip the switch in #Firefox too, based on @krosylight's great work.
Hopefully then the #GoogleChrome team will acknowledge that yes, everybody in the #webdev industry wants this.
It turns out that one the #performance issues I discovered some days ago in #GNOME#Web (where resources are not freed when closing a browser window) was caused by… a speed optimization previously made in the #Epiphany#opensource#Linux#browser … nearly 20 years ago 👀
i use #epiphany / #gnomeWeb as a browser. i need to make a custom CSS. epiphany has a buton for that in the settings. the button is supposed to open a text editor. it does nothing. presumably because it does not know which text editor to use. because i do not have a way to set this through gnome settings or otherwise. because i do not have gnome.
Anyone working on a new browser engine?
Something that's definitely not Chromium.
I quite like Goanna and WebKit. Wish both had more devs behind it. Goanna is very light on resources though, but can struggle with these 6 TB perpetual JavaScript websites of today. #goanna#palemoon#luakit#Epiphany#Gnome
Here is your annual reminder that it is completely appropriate to leave decorations up and continue listening to Christmas music until #Epiphany, which is January 6.

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:
