Thanks for your work on this mcobit. Getting the right browser for the pandora is something of a mission at the moment. It's early days though, so until it's just right I'll try yet another one!

I've been using this primarily since 1.0 and am absolutely loving it! Thank you!

Just gave this a try. I tried downloading one of the Pink Floyd .PNGs and got logged out of my account and told I wasn't authorized on these boards.

This looks good, might it be small enough to replace the god awful default browser?

Do you know that Pandora has a qt4 browser already?

This doesn't really work, has no bookmarks etc. But nice find


Edit: It has two: Arora is QTbased too


Edit2: craigix: It is under heavy developement right now, maybe we should wait till it is featurecomplete and then I will try to make an OE recipe for it. Already talked with ED about this.

sorry for the offtopic, but does ksnapshot really pop up as the screenshot is still being taken? :lol:


on topic:


how stable is it?

It would be better, though I think NetSurf would be better yet (seems to load quicker), and best of all would be Links2, as it's extremely fast and the only one that seems made for the Pandora's interface. (however, it's a bit non-traditional, so I can see the arguments against that)

I don't know! I didn't make the screenshot. And it's very stable. I couldn't get it to crash once and didn't hear any reports that it crashes.

Crashes on Ebay.


When trying to enter "My Ebay", also crashes on a few other websites... :rolleyes:


Firefox is stabler, but this one is faster.

Updated to 1.3


See first post!

My favorite browser, but i swear the progress bar slows down the page from loading in version 1.4... Still loads up media heavy sites (like ESPN) faster and more accurately than anything else available! Waiting for the day that it saves my usernames and passwords, and allows me to rename my bookmarks... Also a dedicated bookmarks button would help... Then all other browsers get deleted.

V1.5 is out now. You can get it by going to its listing on the File Archive. Here are its changes:


- Support for webplugins (Enable allowed plugin-hosts via button)


- Added dialog to manage allowed hosts for plugins


- Set focus on WebView on Tab-Change


- Added Lightweight2-menu button


- Removed format on load-progressbar


- Fixed crashed caused by deleting sumDl in its event-loop (in download.cpp)


- Added dialog to set what domains to save cookies for

 

[Zero3K]

I have two questions:


1. Is anyone seeing the favicon for any site that is visited being displayed in its tab?


2. Has anyone managed to get Flash to work in it? If so, how?
