With respect, "Web" is lacking many features that a workstation user would rely on. It's not ready to be a default browser for Fedora IMHO.
Hi,
Do you have any specific feature requests? I'm planning bookmark sync support, but other than that I think we're largely feature-complete.
I was just running it now to try to get a list of some of its missing features, such as a JavaScript debugging console,
Right click -> Inspect Element -> Debugger, it's the same one that's in every WebKit browser.
But this is a very advanced feature. If you're digging around into the JavaScript debugger, you're more than capable of installing Firefox or Chrome or whatever browser you prefer to work with.
but it quite literally was crashing on almost any operation except clicking on a URL link. This is a Wayland Workstation on Rawhide.
So yeah, really not feeling that this is ready.
Can you please file a bug report, or give me a link if you have and I missed it? It works great in Fedora 23. In my GNOME jhbuild environment there are some serious drawing failures due to a bug in GTK+ 3.19, which a GTK+ developer is investigating, but I'm not aware of any issues that could cause frequent crashes.
Wayland support is mostly complete. We are missing accelerated compositing (affects performance on low-end hardware) and clipboard support (copy/paste, that's a big problem) when running under Wayland. Both are about half-completed, but I cannot say when they will land.
