gnome web has by far my favorite browser interface, but that lack of features makes it unusable as a daily driver right now for me

GNOME Web users typically prioritize minimalism and basic web browsing, sticking to simple websites like blogs, news portals, or basic web apps. With such a niche target audience, those needing advanced features or access to complex websites usually opt for alternative browsers. Still, I'm glad it exists, and who knows what it may lead to in the future! š

I use Gnome Web to test bugs that seem to be WebKit specific , since I donāt have a Mac and testing on my iPhone is tedious. I almost never encounter situations where the Safari WebKit doesnāt have the same bugs as Gnome Web.

Drm support is missing too. That's required for a lot of media streaming services, and their request was rejected by Google/Widevine so it's out of their hands.

I also gave Gnome Web a try about a month or so ago after I learned it uses WebKit, I was intrigued by the prospect of using something that shares the same engine as Safari (as I am primarily a macOS/iOS/Linux user). My experience with Gnome Web was fine for the most part, there were occasions where websites did not load correctly and extensions didn't really work that well for me, it still seems like a promising alternative to Chrome/Chromium, Edge, and Firefox on Linux.
I do wonder which browser TechHut meant when he briefly mentioned KDE's web browsers with a forlorn expression. I haven't regularly used KDE in a while but I am aware of Konqueror (the parent of pretty much all Chrome/Chromium-based browsers and Safari) and oddest KDE app (since it is/was also a file manager), and I recently heard of a replacement called Falkon, however both Konqueror and Falkon use Blink, unless I am mistaken...

They should move to Servo engine and develop it to be a community driven open-source project that other applications can use. I would love to see the development of a modern web browser engine that isnāt corporate built and focuses on low resource devices. Though, I am not delusional and doubt anything will ever happen with Servo to make it an alternative engine that could compete with the existing ones.

People either care or not about privacy and market domination but for those reasons I do explore the alternatives and over time my Web/Epiphany experience was the same as yours and The Linux Experiment. For whatever reason I have had a better experience with Falkon. Neither are daily driver grade but I do hope they both get continued focused development. We need options

Honestly once extensions start working, I would be happy to daily drive gnome web, at least give it a try.

I don't see myself using it for now, but It's a nice addition in browsers nonetheless
Maybe in few more releases, extensions, sync feature
I'm using Brave and I hate cryptos, but the sync is flawless, no need an account for it just a secret code I love it
Nice browser to use

Cyperdog was a kind of awesome browser in the mid-90s. Apple had some interesting ideas that just couldn't work in their timeline. But both Cyperdocs and Hypercard would be killer apps for the open-source community.

For me, it works pretty nicely on my postmarketOS spare phone

Still freezed when trying to open this video in it. It still has a long way to go...
I wish they could transition to something different than C (maybe Rust), so they could avoid memory and threading problems from the begin with, but the code is probably too big for that. Maybe annotating the C code and using a static analyser could already help.
But currently, even the test suite is only pretty bare bones, so stability, if achieved, will more or less be a coincidence. At least they have a test suite, many Gnome programs just don't. If they improve in that regard, they might do it, despite C.

I tried GNOME Web again not too long ago. Initial impressions were positive, until I had to scroll. The scrolling is inconsistent with the rest of the GNOME desktop and feels truly atrocious. No problem, I'll just disable smooth scrolling as I dislike it anyway. Oh, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to disable smooth scrolling? That's odd, I remember there being a setting in the menu before...
A quick search online reveals that the ability to disable smooth scrolling was entirely removed a few years ago because "why should scrolling ever not be smooth?". I'm not even joking. I'll stick with a less boneheaded browser, thank you very much.
That said, I do think GNOME Web is really promising. There's definitely a need for a simple, uncluttered modern web browser with sane defaults. I hope it shapes up into something great.

Feature that webkit has while chrome does not: tail recursion. In ES6 standard for almost a decade now and incredibly useful only if you can rely on it
|
I love that it doesn't force me to use tabs
|
I hope it will be finally possible to scroll the content of the websites clicking on middle (scroll) button of the mouse and move it to up or down...

i use the gnome user chrome css thing for firefox š so i feel like I'm using a gtk4 web browser but it's actually good

It's the best for taking cool looking screenshots, though.

Extensions and adblockers are the deal breakers in my browser choice. Once gnome web adds these features, i think it'll be worth a shot.
