Sincerely sorry about that :/ I work on this browser alone and sometimes have to take shortcuts and leverage features from the latest SDKs to ship faster.

Wow I never noticed that tab switching gesture thing on Brave. Quite lacking precision as you said though. Thanks for pointing it out!

I see your point now :) Thanks for sharing!

In theory the state of input fields is preserved, but maybe some websites mess up with that. Can you please share which website did you try with?

Can you please elaborate what do you mean by "script-driven fullscreen mode"? Does any other iOS browser have such feature?

Thanks a lot for sharing! I'm afraid I can't do much regarding automatic password saving until Apple extends support to third-party browsers, but I'll see if I can implement your nice-to-haves on my end!

Adding to the todo list. Should not be too hard to implement :) Thanks for the suggestion!

It does. Not sure WebKit has an easy solution for that specific scenario at the moment, besides saving a web archive to disk.

Understood, I'll think about starting a newsletter then :) Please follow @quichebrowser on Twitter.

Oh same for me :) Then you can setup the toolbar to hide on scroll: Settings → Display → Behavior on Scroll → Hide

Thank you very much for the nice words! Besides ad/content blockers, can I ask what are your must-have extensions?

Thank you very much! An adventurous friend on iOS 17 reported me that as well, but it seems Safari has the same problem as well? Anyhow I'll make sure it works well when the iOS 17 RC is released.

Not in the immediate future, but I'm hoping Apple will add support into WebKit at some point, and I can just inherit from it.

Thanks for your feedback! Safari gestures do work very well and really became the benchmark on iOS. It may be a bit trickier to pull out in my case when the address bar is very narrow, and become less convenient to pull and drag around. I&#

That's a very good point. That's a tradeoff I made to get some extra space inside those constrained landscape screenshots, but I will probably revert to actual device frames once I revert to portrait screenshots. Thanks for the gr

Thank you! I won't deny you can customize and extend greatly on Android, but to be fair, my little browser is precisely about UI customization.

Haha that proves my reach has been extremely bad: I released the reader's v1 four years and half ago :) Thanks a lot though! I've got a few ideas on how to make the browser and reader work together smoothly.

by nckh 3y ago
That's the next big feature on the todo list :)

Good point for the address/title bar. But would you also want the toolbar buttons at the top?
50.
by nckh 3y ago
Absolutely! That's something I would like to implement as well.

by nckh 3y ago
Thanks! I have to review whether they can be easily converted to WebKit's JSON-based content blocker format. But I suppose DuckDuckGo blockers can also be used as-is.

by nckh 3y ago
You can follow on Twitter and Mastodon! Would it work for you? Do you prefer newsletters maybe?
53.
by nckh 3y ago
Not yet, but this will come when I add iPad support. I'd love to know why you prefer it at the top. Can you please elaborate, here or by email?
54.

100% agree. WebKit is incredible, and people underestimate all the great things you get out of the box for free. That means more time to experiment with creating something different around the web views.

The minimum version should have been iOS 16.0, but a bug with keyboard layout guides got fixed by Apple only on iOS 16.4.

Thanks so much for those super kind words! The app was made with good ol' Swift+UIKit+WebKit+Core Data, with some sprinkles of hosted SwiftUI views. Throw me an email from the support link in the app if you need more details :)

Thank you! I totally agree and am planning to revamp the screenshots for the next release. Initially I went with landscape screenshots in order to show multiple toolbar variations at a decent size, but the tradeoff is I couldn't show s

That's the nicest thing someone has ever said to me <3 Thanks a lot!!

Honestly I agree. I'd like to make buttons arrangement easier, but also something like an assistant that could come up with your ideal toolbar and menu. Plenty of work to do, but so much fun!

It should remember the scroll position, and the content of <input> and <textarea> tags.
