From 60f2fc63302340ea2be9c07098d4f5191fbc032a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Hofmann Date: Thu, 1 Jan 2015 09:31:42 +0100 Subject: The WebKit2 port is "read for use" Addressing the issues mentioned in the README: - I'm using it every day and I haven't found any more bugs (in lariza). - "View source" mode is still not implemented. However, I don't see any other way than re-downloading the current weg page and showing the results in some to-be-written widget that displays text (+ HTML syntax highlighting + maybe other stuff). That's quite a lot of overhead for a rarely used feature, so I decided to drop it. - That "annoying border around the WebView widget" is related to my gtk theme (upstream "Raleigh"). Adwaita, the current GTK+ 3 default theme, does not have that border. tl;dr: The WebKit2 port is as ready as it can get and it's "more bug free" than the WebKit1 version. --- README | 25 ------------------------- 1 file changed, 25 deletions(-) (limited to 'README') diff --git a/README b/README index 9ce8511..7c6b8f9 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -21,31 +21,6 @@ Features: - Adblock -============================================== -IMPORTANT: Current state of the WebKit2 branch -============================================== - -WebKit1 is essentially dead.
