Re: What’s new in webbrowser-app in OTA-10 ?

 

Cool stuffs! :)When can we expect these improvements to also land in the webapps?Webapps are still lacking right now. Even the Canonical-developed webapps doesn't work well like for example Facebook that doesn't even display video/pictures properly.

Not necessarily, if the data in the cache is still valid. Note that

previous versions, the app would always unload all tabs but the most
two recent ones, so that’s actually an improvement over the current
situation.
