Hi, I am a happy epiphany user and as such I am concerned about it's transition to WebKit backend. I noticed there is already, at least, one web browser using WebKit in Fedora repos - Midori, so I installed it (about a month ago) and when in need in fast access to web browser (I use to save sessions in Ephy and there are lots of pages to load before it's usable) I use Midori. Today I've built epiphany from svn with the WebKit backend and decided to write short summary about it's usability. First, a build issue. Where can I find m4 macro AM_CHECK_PYTHON_HEADERS? Epiphany needs it, but it's not available in python-devel. And now for the runtime :) First let me say that on the contrary of it being svn snapshot it seems so far pretty usable, IMHO more usable than ephy with XULRunner during the pre F-9 transition... Now some WebKit related issues I noticed both in Epiphany and Midori: * fedoraforum.org displays white page (out of the tens, maybe hundreds of pages I tried, this is the only one with the issue :-/) * ftp protocol seems to be not fully implemented - it just prints some sort of directory listing (without any formating) and that's all... * the performance is sometimes sluggish, especially during page loading the webbrowser freezes for a while, or is really slow * traditional linux copy&paste (mouse select) is broken * cannot log into websites with pop-up dialog boxes * In epiphany, open in new tab option is missing I'll probably start looking for/filling bugs upstream when I have enough time to do so. If anyone experience these issues as well and is aware of relevant bug #, let me know :) Thanks, Martin
