Navigation history is still available: scroll horizontally the bottom bar (where there are tabs, sessions and favorites)

In order to get search/share long press the Tab Button (the one with the tabs count)

I don't want to fill the navigation bar with more buttons :)

If you follow this guidelines, it's very easy to move through the diferent WebPirate2 options: https://openrepos.net/sites/default/files/packages/4577/screenshot-02-ta...

And yes, the history is sliding horizontaly the botton bar :)

Thumbs up for the new UI - needs a few moments to get into it (like every swipe UI) but nice work!

Two questions though:

 1. could you make the order of icons in the bottom bar customisable - would be very handy to have the most needed functions in first place 

 2. Could you extend the "back-forth-swipe" to the lower quarter of the screen - the url bar is quite small and for fast site switching it would be more comfortable to handle - maybe a setting option as I know many people will disagree as it doesn't fit the UI guidelines ...

Many thanks!

Thank you for the good browser.

Would you please change the tab list view layout direction? Display tabs from bottom to top would be more comfortable to operate them.

Thank you.
By the way, close button for tabs is more convenient than swipe in my opinion. But of course it would break your gesture design. Now the distance of swipe to close is a bit too long. Make it shorter is more comfortable. Sorry for my poor English.

This new version is ultra-cool :D

How about implementing something like this for cookies management? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/self-destructing-cookies/

I use it everyday and it's very handy. You can decide, for each site, if it's cookies will be deleted just after it's tab is closed, after the browser is closed, or be kept.

Good to see an update with Sailfish spirit. Feedback within a couple of days (if and when I've discovered how to close a tab).
Edit - I found it. Should be left or right, not right only.

The WebView is very limited, I have tried some tricks but they don't work.

Even fooling the website by changing the user agent with a most recent version doesn't work (there are rendering issues or the webview doesn't scroll)

Is there a trick to force the TOR proxy also with Webpirate?

Dax's picture

Dax

Sure!

You need to set the "http_proxy" environment variable: http://kaamka.blogspot.it/2009/06/httpproxy-environment-variable.html

It's should work, bit I've never tried.
Maybe you can add it even in .desktop file!

This trick doesn't work because tor is a socks proxy, not an http proxy: you need other tools.

It's not really a crash!
SailfishOS' memory killer closes WebPirate.

I have noticed that with SailfishOS 2.x WebPirate gets killed more often, I will try to reduce its memory/cpu usage in 1.8, but I don't promise anything! :)

Hi Schturman!

See here: https://github.com/Dax89/harbour-webpirate/issues/66
However I will fix it in 1.8 (if it is possible)

Thanks for reporting btw :)

Hi Dax!
Would you please only change the default keyboard in address bar but not in search bar? With the new version it's inconvenient to search Chinese string. Thank you!

Hi there,

Do you have plans for http2? I'm not sure how much work it would be or if it's something that is already availible upstream. But especially on a phone http2 should bring some nice performance upgrades.
