Make sure you're using the adblocking based on the Python "adblock" library - :version will tell you whether it's available. With that library, the main missing thing is element hiding (cosmetic filtering). Without it, q

I've recently learned about litehtml, which seems pretty much what you are describing: http://www.litehtml.com/ Looks like it started in 2012, but I've never heard about it until a recent plan from Qt to write a w

Fair point - though that's not supported by qutebrowser either, and most probably never will be.

It might just work if you're on Qt 5.12.1 or newer: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-51082

If you want anything to be fixed, you'll really need to be more specific... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm afraid I don't really have much news to share about that. It requires a complete rewrite of session handling and the on-disk session format, and that's just something I haven't gotten around to finishing yet. I'

For some reason, DRM support works just fine (at least last time I tested) with QtWebEngine if it's available (e.g. because Chromium/Chrome is installed on the same system).

by The-Compiler 6y ago
This is nothing qutebrowser can fix - DRM/Widevine support is something done entirely by the underlying QtWebEngine and Chromium code. It's a bit of a pain to set up, but it should be possible to get it to work. Basically, you&#x2

QtWebEngine already detects a variety of places automatically: https://github.com/qt/qtwebengine/blob/v5.15.2/src/core/cont... So that flag is only needed if the file is in some strange place (

Some of those issues might be caused by the underlying QtWebEngine. For others, qutebrowser might be responsible (I'm mainly thinking of https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/5376 which might

Yup! So far, we have C (Python runtime), C++ (Qt), Python (qutebrowser itself), Rust (adblocker) and JavaScript (web stuff and some of qutebrowser's code) involved. Probably some other small things I'm not thinking of right now. I

Oh, that was an interesting read! I wasn't aware of Angelfish or how it integrated the same library.

I'm not blaming you for that - those things are insanely hard to track down in a complex application spanning multiple programming languages and approaches to memory management... Unfortunately I have no idea where to start either :-&#
