Just downloaded this and gave it for a whirl. Running Ubuntu (Jaunty), it definitely felt buggy. (Which is ok, considering it's stage in development)
For starters, the window maximized height-wise past my screen and I couldn't resize it so I had trouble seeing everything (all I did was copy the default config)
Additionally, loading up YouTube.com in it made it grind to a crawl. Video loaded, but the front page took a good 10 second pause before it was fully loaded.
I like the idea though and I plan to tinker with it more in hopes that it is more ... uzbl :)
- astine 17y agoThe chief performance issue is that the default cookies handler has to spin off a new process for every cookies handled and that can make things really slow. That might be the problem you are having now. There are better scripts available, but I can't tell you much about configuring them.
- judofyr 17y ago> the default cookies handler has to spin off a new process for every cookies handled What? Why?
- astine 17y agoThe default handler is a python script. Part of the design philosophy is to keep it separate from the browser itself. There is an alternative: http://www.uzbl.org/news.php?id=14 http://www.uzbl.org/news.php?id=14
- truebosko 17y agoThanks for the suggestion. I tried your below link on using cookie_daemon.py and it does indeed speed it up, especially on sites like YouTube (which I'm guessing is creating a lot of cookies on many of its pages) but unfortunately it's still not too speedy. To be honest though I love the way you use it. A minimal browser with navigation mostly tied to the keyboard is awesome.
