There should be an easily discoverable option to make Midori the default web browser.

And, too, it'd be nice to show an infobar suggesting to do this automatically if Midori isn't already the default (which could be closed and won't show again).

The page menu should have View So_urce which opens the source of the open website in a text editor.

Although history is part of the core, the history panel can be implemented as an Activatable used only in normal mode (not private or app`).

While typing part of the current domain or just the protocol may end up being re-inserted.

This is a small idea to give more flexibility and customization to the browser and for the end user to decide where he wants to position the tab bar, up, down, right, left, etc.

Currently the list of closed tabs is stored in the browser and accessible via Control-Shift+T. This functionality should be exposed in the UI.

Due to a design limitation with the old extension system, extensions weren't used in Private Browsing. Now they just work automatically and ergo the according message should be removed.

Hi,

I'm maintaining Midori for Arch Linux. After GTK+ was updated beyond 3.10, the latest release of Midori no longer builds.

midori: 0.5.11
gtk3: 3.24.1
webkit2gtk: 2.22.2

I have tried to patch Midori heavily with the following shell commands:

sed 's/protected Tally/public Tally/g' -i midori/midori-notebook.vala
sed 's/%d other files/%u other files/g' -i extensions/transfers.vala
for f in transfers adblock/widgets apps history-list notes; do
  sed 's,.remove (iter,.remove (ref iter,g' -i "extensions/$f.vala"
done
find . -type f -regex '.*\.\(c\|vala\)' -exec sed -i \
    's/Gtk.STOCK_FILE/"text-x-generic"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_CLOSE/"window-close"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_ADD/"list-add"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_HELP/"help-browser"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_APPLY/""/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_CANCEL/""/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_COPY/"edit-copy"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_DELETE/"edit-delete"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_EDIT/""/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_OPEN/"document-open"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_PREFERENCES/"preferences-system"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_PROPERTIES/"document-properties"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_SAVE/"document-save"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_CLEAR/"edit-clear"/g;s/Gtk.STOCK_DIRECTORY/"folder"/g' \
    "{}" +;
find . -type f -regex '.*\.\(c\|vala\)' -exec sed -i \
    's/g_dbus_generate_guid/GLib.DBus.generate_guid/g' "{}" +;

This makes Midori build again, and it works fine for many webpages, but fails when first opening a webpage in a tab, then closing midori and then opening midori again. For instance with https://news.ycombinator.com/.

The error in the console is:

** (midori4:18219): CRITICAL **: 11:19:31.096: gboolean webkit_web_view_get_tls_info(WebKitWebView*, GTlsCertificate**, GTlsCertificateFlags*): assertion 'wkCertificateInfo' failed

I am building with -DHALF_BRO_INCOM_WEBKIT2=ON.

My goal is to package Midori so that it works together with the latest version of GTK+ and is as stable as possible.

Do you have any upcoming patches that could help me out here?

Best regards,
Alexander F. Rødseth

The current code doesn't do that.

Menus coming from models more specifically don't seem to be picking up the translation domain.

Possibly this is the characteristic that could most impact the whole community but as the title says it is to refocus the future, the proposal although it is very ambitious is viable and can be executed,

The proposal is to migrate the project to Qt, although I know that it is a somewhat complex task at the technical level, it is viable without ever thinking about changing WebKit.

Pros

1. We gain more customization.
2. Midori could reach mobile devices.
3. Creation of new UI and UX with much more easy.
4. Possibility of greater contribution by the community.
5. Integration with new technologies for user interfaces.
6. Separation of the programming layer and the interface layer.
7. Complete restructuring.

Contra

1. Greater effort when using webkit.
2. Greater slowness at the time of development and adaptation to new languages.
3. Delay with the roadmap.
4. Others.

The "homepage" as a concept is

• an arbitrary website specified by the user
• a button in the toolbar
• accessible via Alt+Home

Could you please add the LastPass Extension to Midori?
Many thanks.

This is a great feature that can be offered to all users both experts and beginners as it will help the battery life by decreasing the electronic consumption.

• The CLI switch -a/ --app initiates "app" mode.
• Browser contains basically a single "pinned" tab.
• New tabs or windows can't be opened (except via -e/ --execute).
• Keyboard shortcuts aren't available.
• Context menus aren't available.
• Fullscreen mode is unavailable (except via -e/ --execute Fullscreen).

The OpenSearch specification defines what search engines can be picked up from a particular website, typically a general search engine, wiki or shop.

The bookmarks panel should

• list all bookmarks and folders
• allow removal and editing
• be searchable

to improve the experience and functional features for the end user it is possible to implement the location and orientation API added to this this feature also helps the development of WebApps

A new tab should be opened with what would be the expected destination after clicking the respective button. So the Back button would open a tab with the previous page, the Forward button would open the next page respectively and Reload would duplicate.

Closing the Clear private data dialog before checking the state of existing data has finished can result in a lot of Gtk.Widget.sensitive warnings.

Bookmarks as a complete feature used to be scattered all over the codebase. The new core must remain clean, so only Activatables shall be used to implement these components:

• Bookmarks completion
• Add a bookmark via the 🔖 popover

One of the biggest utilities in all scenarios is a credential administrator, this must be implemented in a secure way in the database encrypting everything stored here using a strong algorithm.

I understand Midori is based on Firefox. I haven't had Midori recently, but that was my impression when I did use it. If it is and if you don't read all of the Firefox Bugzilla bugs implicating security, please look at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1476152 and consider weighing in as appropriate.

It's about the Never Remember History setting remembering old history, meaning URLs visited. Some of us think that undermines security while some people think remembering visited URLs even after a reboot is what it should do. As an alternative, I proposed amending the wording "Never Remember History" to reflect what the program does, maybe "Never Remember Future History (Keep Old History)", but even rewording seems to be in dispute. That's in discussion at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=513421 but that's years old and still hasn't been implemented. If I were to try to patch it myself, patching might take hours and there's substantial risk it would be rolled back by another programmer. This is a security leak.

If it could affect Midori, please consider participating or patching.

We may want to actually call the plugin session regardless of its nickname. Logic should be pretty much the same except ported to Peas API from the legacy extension layer.

The SyncStorage API allows syncing:

• bookmarks
• history
• forms
• preferences
• tabs
• passwords

Ideally this can be implemented as an extension so it can be easily enabled and disabled as necessary, although making it part of the core may be necessary.

This should be considered a meta issue to track implementation of the above items, some of which depend on features that aren't in the new core yet.

See ANDROID-13 for the Android epic

The plugin code in the web process which is separate from the core loads non-builtin plugins regardless of activation.

The browser presents problems when it comes to playing videos on portals such as YouTube, Vimeo and others.

The context menu item "Save Image As" is currently misleading. The image is directly saved to the default download folder while the description suggests it would show a dialog to select the destination.

The feature should either be re-introduced if deemed useful or the according message be dropped.

The new core doesn't do that.

Hello

Back to midori since a long time, I have a strange problem. Whatever the page I open, it is zoomed. I need to hit CTRL+0 to scale down to "normal" font size.

In paramteters, I've got the normal size option for font activated... Any idea ?

Due to the move off Launchpad the translation service needs re-visiting. That includes documenting the workflow.

WebLate is a nice free software solution, and they also offer free hosting for free software projects

The telemetry system is a service that not only helps to know which are the falls that the system has but also that allows us to collect information to know the behavior of it. Returns, conflicting components etc.

After switching from a secure tab to another and back an insecure icon is shown and the security details popover suggests it's insecure.

There's two separate menu items to open a new (private) window. In Private Browsing both do the same.

If a Midori.Settings instance is used in a web process changes to values made in the GUI won't automatically be propagated. This needs support for (automatically) reloading external changes.

• This affects the Adblock extension when toggling the global enabled state and adding or removing filters.
• Manual modifications to the core config file are currently silently lost.
• A fix for #118 that relies on CoreSettings would be affected by this.

"Paste and Proceed" inserts the URL from the clipboard and opens the page.

• There should be a menu item Paste and p_roceed when right-clicking the urlbar.
• The keyboard shortcut ^Shift+V should do the same.

This is a very interesting and important feature since it will give users the possibility to search for a specific word in the history by minimizing the time required to find what they want to find.

This is pure convenience for a keyboard-based workflow, basically the same as using Alt+1/ Alt+9.

Opening a website with an expired certificate results in an error, which is desirable. However instead of Not Found, the actual cause should be explained.

Optionally switching tabs should go by most recent activity rather than the order within the window. Bonus points for a shortcut that allows the regular behavior whilst remapping default hotkeys.

If the navigationbar was revealed by moving the mouse to the top in user-initiated fullscreen mode it should autohide when moving the mouse pointer out of it again.

Re-opening of closed tabs should work across sessions.

Although the database schema is prepared for it, tab history (going back and forward) isn't currently stored or restored.

• Toolbar icon to toggle blocker globally
• Ability to choose what filters to use
• Automatic fetching and updating of filter lists
• Hook into WebPage.send_request
