UBports may soon have a new web browser |
 |
The UBports project may soon have a new web browser that offers better multimedia support. This new browser could eventually replace the Morph browser which is facing some compatibility issues. "Alfred has been doing some experiments towards a new browser for UT. A demo was shown. It is already very fluid. The URL bar is at the bottom and the keyboard swipes up. It runs on 60fps. It is fully compliant so it doesn't need the permission tweaks that our current chromium based browser requires. The browser is based on the Apple webkit model. Unlike chromium there is gstringer support for multimedia. That means hardware accelerated video decoding is happening. Just to make clear, this is still in the early stages it is coming along well but is not a finished product yet.
Flo commented that since Morph is based on a late version of Qt 5, we cannot upgrade the webengine until we reach Qt 6. Unfortunately that is a big challenge and we don't even have the resources to try at the moment. New HTML5 tricks are not compatible with the old Qt version, so some websites are just a mess. With Morph, that will only get worse as pages are upgraded. There are some webapps which no longer work because of those library issues." Additional work happening in the UBports project is discussed in the mobile operating system's newsletter. |
