browser's Issues

Support Ubuntu Touch

Hello,
I know that at one point there was a preview release of Liri web browser for Ubuntu Touch and I wonder how hard would it be to support it again?

It seems that based on some internal UBports discussions the current system web browser wont receive much updates since Oxide is no longer developed and is missing maintainers. The talks are to utilize some other web browser amongst them Liri is one of the few feasible candidates.

So I guess my question is what would be necessary to change in Liri to run on Ubuntu Touch again?

Thank you very much for you answers :).

"SlimeEngine" is not installed ——archlinux

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/ui/Main.qml:25 module "SlimeEngine" is not installed

Using QtWebEngine
fish: './liri-browser' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

release?

Windows build? how to?

Find in page option

Allow the user to search in web pages.

Browser hangs when is moved to the second screen

Steps to repro:

Open browser on main screen
Move window to the secondary screen
Notice that browser hangs
Qt 5.8
Distro:
Linux Mint 17.3, Cinnamon

Open with url argument

Accept multiple urls as comand line argument
Local socket -> forward to already running instance

Refactor BrowserWindow layout

Developer tools

Source code view
Web inspector

Keyboard shortcuts

The browser should have a good selection of shortcuts.

Dashboard

It would be nice to have a dashboard as optional homepage (liri://dash).

Thinks to consider:

Extensions support
Background
Search field

Roboto doesn't support some languages

I want to changing default fonts. Default fonts can't displaying Japanese.

Consider providing an AppImage

As suggested by @probonopd we should consider to provide AppImage packages.

Living list of things to think about:

Automatic builds?

I haven't looked into AppImage yet, contributions are very welcome!

Would you be interested in an AppImage? Shouldn't be too hard using linuxdeployqt. Let me know if you'd like help.

Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:

Works for most Linux distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)
One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, make it executable, and run
No unpacking or installation necessary
No root needed
No system libraries changed
Just one format for all major distributions
Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed (unlike Snap and Flatpak)
Optional desktop integration with appimaged
Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
Works on Live ISOs (unlike Flatpak)
Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions

Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.

@probonopd's comment

Use Bintray for AppImage updates

Use Bintray for AppImage binary delta updates.

Suggested by @probonopd. See #44

Save cookies, passwords and form data

It seems Browser doesn't remember credentials of Web sites where the user has authenticated.
Need to save cookies, passwords and form data.

Extensions support

Support extensions, both declarative and script-based.

This was split up in the following milestones:

1. Base

Declarative:

Search engines
Themes

TODO:

Improve error handling (e.g. in extensionparser.cpp)
Static field naming (e.g. search.query in searchprovider.cpp
Use $[search.query] or something like this instead to make clear it's a field not a value?
Fall back to default if other extension doesn't exist anymore
Search engines: support hash-bang urls like https://peekier.com/#!search query

2. Scripting

Dynamic:

Omnibar plugins (omniplets)

3. GUI

For discussion:

How should users create/search/install extensions?

Add Startpage.com to search pages

As the Liri Browser promotes its privacy, startpage.com should be added as one of the search pages delivered with installation. (IMHO) Startpage is one of the leading services in protecting the privacy of people. 👍

Incompatibility with latest Fluid changes

After installing liri-browser through the arch user repository, I get the following error when I try to start liri-browser:

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component
qrc:/ui/Main.qml:48 Type BrowserWindow unavailable
qrc:/ui/window/BrowserWindow.qml:390 Type DrawerDownloadsContent unavailable
qrc:/ui/drawer/content/downloads/DrawerDownloadsContent.qml:41 Type DownloadItemDelegate unavailable
qrc:/ui/drawer/content/downloads/DownloadItemDelegate.qml:31 BaseListItem is not a type

ASSERT failure in QList<T>::operator[]: "index out of range", file /usr/include/qt/QtCore/qlist.h, line 549
Abgebrochen (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

Then, the application exits with 134

QML import versions

QML import versions change frequently. Would it make sense to ...

create a script to update versions easily
use QtQuick 2.0 everywhere instead of QtQuick 2.X
I'm not sure about this. What do you think?

Provide a Snap

Provide a Snap package for the browser.
Things to consider:

Oxide vs QtWebEngine
Use cloud part as reference.
App platform snap (like ubuntu-app-platform) with Fluid and Qt 5.8?
- Provide standalone and version based on app platform snap?
Name: liri-browser vs io.liri.browser
Store account management

Context menu

Indicate download failures

Downloads currently fail silently. The user should be informed when a download fails.

Support reading local files

E.g. file:///some/path/index.html

Change needed in setting material style?

Building from latest commits (development, theme or new extension branch) on Qt 5.8RC, all show liri-browser running with the same error:

$ liri-browser
Using QtWebEngine
WARNING: Cannot find style "material" - fallback: ":/QtQuick/Controls/Styles/Base"

Seems this line:
https://github.com/lirios/browser/blob/develop/src/main/main.cpp#L43
needs adjusting:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-52936

Fullscreen support

Icon

The browser needs an icon.

Theme color support

Support theme color and set a dark theme for incognito mode.

Adaptive Layout

Make the browser completely responsive to all form factors:

Mobile tabs view
Responsive settings

CI build broken

With the last commit I accidentally broke the build due to a higher qbs requirement:

https://travis-ci.org/lirios/browser/builds/275744329?utm_source=email&utm_medium=notification

Maybe an update to Qt 5.9.0 will fix this. This issue is just a reminder.

Support Windows

Hello guys, I wanted to know if you can build Liri Browser on Windows?

P.S.
It is a very interesting project.

Update AUTHORS.md and README.md to be consistent

Make them consistent with other repositories

Add flash plugin support

Flash is not working now

Drop SlimeEngine

Drop SlimeEngine in favor of using only QtWebEngine.

Related to #39.

Settings

Introduce an initial set of configuration options (e.g. search engine).
Settings should be presented as tab page with the url liri://settings.
Consider supporting sub categories like liri://settings/search-engine.
Consider to support searching through the settings.
Initial settings should include:

start page (default: start.liri.io, DuckDuckGo.com or Google.com)
search engine (default: DuckDuckGo or Google)

Handle certificate errors

Support translations

Make the browser translatable.

Unwanted autoplay for media

I think its very counterproductive, to start Youtube videos etc automatically, even without the tab activated.

Segfaults on exit

This might also be the reason for cookies not getting saved on exit.
