Sadly it seems midori-bin has some serious issues.
It’s Firefox with little more than a few amateur Firefox-css thread hacks applied (many of which are buggy - last year I tried the ‘hide urlbar’ and found I couldn’t use the items at the top of a webpage because when the mouse approaches, the webpage gets shoved down to reveal the bar… yet when you mouse down to click, the page slides up again as the url bar is hidden.
Even the newest 11.2 version is slower than Floorp upon which it’s based.
It’s a Fork of a Fork, which implies that someone can’t be bothered to do the job himself and so is just rebranding an open source project already relying on donations.
While this is no doubt true, in this instance this brand continues as a known merger between the original project and the Astian Foundation.
That would be Floorp that you’re describing, right? The same that you were praising in another thread?
Midori v11 – Firefox/Floorp fork / whatever!
I have no interest in seeing Midori 11+ added to Manjaro repos.
However, the OP’s initial request would seem to have been misguided, as further comments demonstrate only a desire to have Midori 11+ available somehow.
Knowing it’s available via the AUR should quench that thirst.
Yes, my interpretation could be inaccurate or incomplete, if we are to base everything on literals, however if it is not, simply reacting to the initial request and title seems somewhat myopic.
Perhaps we can simply close the thread to avoid another round of musical solutions.
No, that was a bit of CSS I copied from Reddit ‘firefox-css’ thread.
Most of the ‘custom’ options in Floorp are basically just copied from there…
I wasn’t praising it, so much as noticing that the quick test I ran showed it to be a fair bit quicker than my Firefox… it still looks interesting - I’ll keep it around to play sometimes for a while at least.
But really, I don’t think Firefox needs to be faster for anything I do.
As am I, purely for interest sake; I’ve been (not too closely) monitoring the progression through Electron, and various experiments. It seems they finally dumped that in favour of the current offering.
I can’t say I’m a fan from what I’ve seen so far; but it’s certainly not the worst I’ve seen, either, as browsers go. After a week I’ll likely purge it.
