Liking dwb more and more.

Hello there,

I just joined because I wanted to personally thank you for this really great browser that allows me to enjoy a modern and sophisticated web experience. However, would it be possible to selectively disable sending a referrer?

Back in the bloated Firefox-days I quite enjoyed this plugin here, which lets you switch between 3 modes in which the methods of sending a referrer differ:

I'm very sorry if this is already mentioned in this, rather huge, topic. But how do I bind ctrl+[ to "Exit from input mode"? Couldn't really find a way.

I'm not sure if i implement this but if you file a feature request on bitbucket it might be implemented. I often forget about feature requests on the forum.

This wasn't mentioned in this thread and there was no command for normal mode but i implemented a new command 'normal_mode' in tip. If you use dwb-hg you can bind it to Control [.

Damn that's fast, thanks. DWB has now become my main browser!

First off, thanks portix for all of your hard work. I appreciate it.

I want to be able to enable Flash and Java when I need them, but I would also like HTML5 to be prefered over Flash. If I enable plugins and use the plugin blocker, then dwb (websites?) always prefers Flash. Ideally I would like Flash and Java to be disabled and use a shortcut to enable them when I need them, but have HTML5 video work normally. Is this possible?

portix · 2012-03-18 18:22:02

dwb doesn't decide if flash or html5 is used. The plugin-system is independent of html5, so if you disable plugins websites that also support html5 will probably use html5. You can toggle all boolean settings with the toggle command, you can for example put

Control p:toggle enable-plugins;; reload

to the custom commands.

Wow, I thought that I tried that. I was wrong. I'm grateful. Thanks.

Hello to all,
I am using this excellent browser for a short time but I have a small problem: when I visited some sites with flash-content (for example youtube) I can't seem to see them. First I disabled plugin blocker, after I put Youtube in whitelist but the problem remains. In youtube I see only one box:

Some solution?
Thanks for all and for the great work!

portix · 2012-03-21 14:53:00

Are you using the gtk3-version? If so, the regular flashplugin doesn't work with libwebkit3, you have to use nspluginwrapper.

Draven94 · 2012-03-21 17:41:34

Ok, in Arch I solved this problem, but in the other linux distro that use (Fedora) I can't solve
Thanks

Thank you for a wonderful browser, portix!

I was wondering if you're interested in making it possible to have the tabs vertically, while keeping the text horizontally left-to-right

That way more letters and more tabs will be visible, while only sacrificing some width!

What do you think?

bslackr · 2012-03-22 02:26:14

I've been having to killall -9 dwb in order to get it to close. The only output I get from running it in the terminal is "Received SIGSEGV, trying to clean up." That stays there, presumably forever but I've been killing it each time after about a minute at the longest. Anything I can do to help debug it?

Edit: I figured out the problem. I use privoxy so connect dwb to it. If I put anything into the proxy-url setting, regardless of whether proxy=true/false, I get that error. If proxy-url is blank, it closes normally. I have tried both valid and invalid entries, but if something is there, dwb won't close

I had already implemented it but didn't push it to the repository because personally i wouldn't ever use it because it just takes too much space. Maybe i reimplement it but i'm not sure about it.

This is fixed in tip.

I've noticed, that my HDD doesn't spin down if dwb is running, trying it with luakit, chromium and Firefox. In every case the HDD is spinning down, only with dwb it doesn't. Any hint where i should look at?

thx
Pit

dwb saves the history immediately if you navigate to a new site, there is a setting sync-history, but i now realised that this will not help much. If a site want's to set a cookie the cookie file is also accessed, and the plugin whitelist will also be accessed. I will try to fix it next weekend.

portix · 2012-03-22 16:24:07

@Into the Pit: I already implemented it today, there is a new option 'sync-files' which is an interval the history and cookies are saved to hdd. Also the whitelists will only be accessed when they are changed. I haven't pushed it to the default branch because it needs some testing but if you want to test it you can check out the experimental branch.

Tested it, starting with a new profile and works like it should, thx portix for that fast fix. I appreciate your work.

I just want to make sure that I'm not missing something before filing a feature request. Is there any way to add tags to a bookmark before it's commited to the bookmarks file like jumanji does? For instance, I was reading this page a few days back:

http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html

I want to bookmark the page and use tags that I would run into later when looking for similar stuff. If I were to bookmark this in jumanji, I would have a chance to add stuff like "24 192 audio flac vorbis aac" as tags before comitting to the bookmarks file. Instead, I ended up manually editing the bookmarks file. Can this be done now?

portix · 2012-03-28 08:51:17

There is no tags support for bookmarks, it is on my todo list for a long time now. How do you edit bookmarks? Do you simply add the tags to the bookmarks title? This would be easy to implement.

Yes, I just add them to the end. In the example that I gave above, the tag looks like this:

http://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/demo/neil-young.html 24/192 audio flac vorbis aac

One of the cool things that jumanji does is that one can see the tags when you're searching the bookmarks. It makes it much easier to remember what was going on at the time. As well, it's case-insensitive for all of the line and just like dwb, it picks up on sub-strings.

Luakit groups them under the tag (don't know what it does if multiple tags, never tried).
