Today in IPv6 nerdry, filed a papercut issue on Epiphany, as its addressbar URL beautification heuristics apparently don't understand IPv6 addresses: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2868

@DataKnightmare the research talks about #Chrome;
1) are those nasty behaviours limited to #Chrome?
2) are #browsers_based_on_chromium affected?
3) are other #modernbrowsers involved?
For example, is #Firefox is affected? #Brave? #Vivaldi? #Webkit such as #Safari, #Epiphany (aka #GnomeWeb)? -
Stumbled upon another good example of a simple WordPress website theme causing scrolling performance problems in the latest version of GNOME Web (Epiphany), so I profiled the heck out of it with about 3.6 gigabytes of @WebKitGTK debug symbols installed: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310814

Made two small keyboard shortcuts enhancement merge requests today, in Epiphany and Nautilus:
* For Epiphany's tabs overview toggle: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/merge_requests/2066
* For Nautilus' global search: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/merge_requests/1988
Those merge requests could also be nicknamed, "Tell me you're a Dvorak typist without telling me you're a Dvorak typist." :blobpats:

Screenshot of #SignalDesktop I took last year on #Librem5.Regarding browsers, the default #FirefoxESR does not need any zooming in, and neither does #GnomeWeb, #Kumo or #AngelFish. On #BraveBrowser, I zoom in 125%.
Btw, being able to use desktop apps on #LinuxMobile is generally considered one of its advantages!

Discovered today that Epiphany (and presumably any application using #WebKitGTK) will experience slow scrolling after resizing the webview (or window) on some websites, particularly when you drag the scrollbar using the mouse (instead of using the scrollwheel), as can be seen in the video below.
I have reported it here: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305290
Wondering if anyone experiences this on web pages other than this article: https://thewalrus.ca/return-to-office-mandates/

@ati1 @linmob Depends what the user wants from a personal device, how they use it and what their priorities are. If someone's priorities are a modern camera, running proprietary Android apps and their money is held hostage by banks requiring #Duopoly apps, they should check back later, perhaps when the Librem 5 "Fir" model is released.
On the other hand, if #FreeSoftware, #privacy, #modularity, #repairability, #ecofriendliness, #decentralisation, #digitalindependence, etc. are valued above other things, the Librem 5 and the higher-spec model, the #LibertyPhone, can absolutely work in 2025 and beyond.
I am daily driving a #Librem5 with #postmarketOS and everything important to me works: VoLTE calls and SMS (although I avoid them due to #SaltTyphoon), 4G data, Wi-Fi, camera with OK quality photos (see: #ShotOnLibrem5), GPS with #PureMaps, web browsing with #FirefoxESR, web apps (including banking) using #GNOMEWeb and #BraveBrowser, email using #Geary and #DeltaChat, audio calls on #SignalMessenger, #Matrix ( #ElementMessenger), #XMPP ( #DinoIM), #JitsiMeet, etc.
There are occasional bugs and quirks, and the device itself has limitations but nothing that I can't work around.
Not sure if I missed anything. Let me know if you have a specific use case that you absolutely require and I'll see if I can test...

When I hand-coded that static HTML+CSS in 2013-2019, I did not realize that my personal website's "Clients" logos wall page would remain one of the best scrolling performance benchmarks for #WebKitGTK even in 2025 with Skia and a triple-buffered #GNOME 48, but here we go… fresh #Sysprof captures where that page casually brings the framerate down from 60fps to 12-18fps: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221738#c26

With everything going on in #WebKitGTK's port to Skia, performance optimizations in GNOME Shell and Mutter, optimizations related to libsoup, #Sysprof profiling marks for WebKitGTK… I ended up waiting for 1.5 years to reprofile some bloated news websites that are slow to load in #GNOMEWeb. Today, I did that: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291796
