#webkitgtk — Public Fediverse posts

#Sunstone browser now has a searchable history. The period to display can be set to the last hour, day, week, a custom timeframe or 'all'. There is also an option to group the results by host. By default, 50 results are displayed per page.

This is a WIP and subject to change. This biggest miss so far is a link in the page to navigate beyond the first page of results, although you can get there by appending 'page/<n>' to the url. The link to the host also needs fixed to point to the correct uri scheme. There are other missing features, such as the ability to delete history items or bookmarks, and while there is a growing list of settings there isn't anywhere to change them yet. One step at a time.

History and bookmarks are currently displayed in web page form. I'll be adding abbreviated displays in the sidebar eventually.

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

#QA #Sysprof #performance #profiling #GNOMEWeb #Epiphany #GNOME #WebKitGTK #WebKit

It's the first day of #FOSDEM2026 and you shouldn't miss our 4 talks! Our colleagues @philn @koala @mariospr and @regocas will cover #WebRTC, #WebKitGTK, #GStreamer, Interop, #MathML, Web Platform and @servo

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/

#GNOMEWeb #GNOME #Sysprof #performance #profiling

I don't know what kind of wildly inefficient code #GitLab must have put in their bug reporting GUI, but it seems to be a great performance stress-test benchmark for @WebKitGTK, as Epiphany lags a *lot* when trying to type there :blobpats:

Reported it here: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301066

#WebKitGTK #GNOMEWeb

If you ever experienced broken / offset drag-and-drop previews in GNOME Web (Epiphany), particularly with kanban board applications like Trello for example, this is the bug report I filed about it in WebKitGTK: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292058

#GNOMEWeb #Epiphany #WebKitGTK #kanban #Trello

It took me years… YEARS to figure out a reliable way to trigger the #GNOMEWeb / #WebKitGTK bug where the native general "Copy/Back/Forward/Reload" right-click menu would show up on top of GMail's custom contextual menus.

Finally I found a 100% surefire way to make it happen. Now it seems so straightforward, all of a sudden :blobsweats:

#Epiphany #GNOME #QA #webdev #Linux

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

#GNOMEWeb #performance #profiling

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

#GNOME #performance #profiling

Wake up babes, new web browser engine benchmark just dropped (a fintech banking website's CPU-devouring front page text carousel):

* https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1954307

#Sysprof #WebKit #WebKitGTK #Firefox

One of my moonshot performance feature requests in #WebKitGTK for #GNOMEWeb: the ability to (semi-)automatically unload tabs from RAM when you have too many of them (especially idle ones)… https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=291369

Even with 24 GB of RAM it has been a lifesaver for me in Firefox on #Linux; being able to tell the browser to aggressively auto-unload idle tabs from websites like Reddit and YouTube, while keeping "safe" (ex: work intranet, chat system) tabs allowlisted, is great for saving resources.

Update on the #GNOME "suspended" window state not firing when obscuring windows: it turns out to be multiple bugs :blobsweats:

* The bug affecting #GNOMEWeb / #WebKitGTK presumably remains a #Mutter bug in handling subsurfaces: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3634#note_2405587

* The heisenbug part of the issue I was seeing where even gnome-system-monitor was not responding to obscuring surfaces turns out to be caused by the "Dim Background Windows" extension for #GNOMEShell … I reported it here: https://github.com/stephane-13/gnome-shell-extension-dim-background-windows/issues/37

A ponies-on-rainbows feature I would miss from Firefox (or Chromium) in #WebKitGTK / #GNOMEWeb: the ability to print/save only the current selection from the page.

От сервера к десктопу: эксперимент с ASP.NET AOT и WebKitGTK

В этой статье я расскажу об экспериментальной связке технологий, которую я раньше не встречал нигде и основным мотиватором была проверка жизнеспособности этой идеи. Цель этого эксперимента — проверка жизнеспособности стека ASP .NET + WebKitGTK + frontend на JS/TS. Этот стек предназначен для работы на ОС Linux. В проекте весь код написан на C# за исключением клиентской части, которая реализована при помощи TypeScript и Angular 19.1. Этот концепт представляет из себя приложение, которое получает данные из Github API и для выбранного языка программирования проводит анализ количества новых репозиториев github по годам, строя линейную диаграмму, показывая тем самым тренд языка программирования. Этот анализ изначально не слишком объективен, но для тестового приложения вполне нормальный сценарий использования. В приложении на том же WebKitGTK реализована OAuth аутентификация Github. Полученные токены хранятся в системе при помощи библиотеки libsecret в зашифрованном (AES) виде. После первого входа пользователю необходимо установить пин-код, который является частью ключа. Немного заморочился с безопасностью токенов, да =)

Apple's "very enthusiastic" product presentation pages on its website are the perfect performance stress test for #WebKitGTK, particularly the iPhone 16 page. Unfortunately, when I try to launch Epiphany or MiniBrowser with #Sysprof, it either crashes (Epiphany) or hangs (MiniBrowser) without launching anything.

Added my observations here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2413#note_2240136
…but it is a mystery why I sometimes randomly can't profile this thing 🤷
