Canonic Browser: open-source QML Browser
- dTal 5y agoPlease don't make the landing page for your website your gargantuan web app that launches with "downloading and compiling... (x% complete). Use a simple lightweight landing page that works on all browsers and tells me what it is I'll be launching, and give me the option to launch it or not. Even having launched this and having played with the live editor, I'm still unclear what the rationale is for reimplementing a web browser UI as well.
- pseudoramble 5y agoPretty interesting resource! In my tiny bit of spare moments I've been trying to learn QML/QT Quick/Kirigami in hopes of someday developing Linux mobile apps on the side. I'm not so sure how I feel about QML yet. Having some slightly bigger but more complex examples like this could be really helpful. About this specific browser: one odd behavior I noticed is that it changes the scroll behavior. On macOS it's surprising since it uses natural scroll by default. Dunno if that's an option to change, but it might be a nice tweak.

- neilv 5y agoCanonical (canonical.com) business includes KDE/Qt, so the name Canonic (canonic.com) is a little confusing.

- skratlo 5y agoDoesn't load at all on Android
- jandeboevrie 5y agoThis is not a web browser, just a QML browser.
- no_time 5y agoFrame pacing is all over the place in Firefox. In Chromium it's more responsive but the main thread consumes a whopping 260MB of ram compared to around ~20MB of a regular html5 page of similar complexity according to Chromium's taskmanager.
