@Frenzie Thank you once again for snooping through this. The problem I have now is that the bookmarklet opens a blank page first and then opens a blank GMail compose window. The compose window puts about:blank in the message body section of the compose window and nothing in the subject line of the compose window. I appreciate your time and willingness to post about this here, Frenzie.
Edit/Addition: I just figured out that I have to select "Reuse current tab" in the Ctrl-F12 Preferences/General in order for this bookmarklet to work. I have always had that unchecked/unselected previously. Thank you so much, again, Frenzie.
Thank you, Frenzie, for your feedback. Unfortunately, that script does not seem to do the trick with either a custom button method or bookmarklet method. Your information is much apppreciated, however. You taught me something here for the future at least.
Just wondering why the QtWebEngine version of Otter for Windows is not availabe via an .exe file? I have the QtWebKit version installed through an .exe file. I am not sure how to deal with .zip files. Can I have both a QtWebEngine version of Otter and a WebKit version of Otter as separate programs on the same computer?
(I find the QtWebKit version to be light, indeed, on resources compared to other browsers, but I'd like to try the QtWebEngine version since the article seems to recommend it as being even lighter on resources.)
I just want to say how much Otter Browser has grown on me. It's Shift-F2 turbo bookmarks, F12 menu, easy individual settings for different websites, and low memory footprint make me an avid user of this browser. I think it's the closest thing to the old Opera available, using another rendering engine. I do find it more quick/responsive and handy than Vivaldi browser right now. Vivaldi is sluggish for me, has plenty of eye candy, but is less stable, too. I think Otter's approach is solid thus far.
I am just wondering if Weekly #81 is delayed or denied. It is Wednesday here and I still see no sign of this build being available for download. I enjoy Otter quite a bit, and always am looking for the latest and greatest. Thank you.
Shift-F2 (turbo bookmark) in Otter works far better than does the Quick Command feature in Vivaldi for me; the Quick Command feature in Vivaldi is not quick
Website preferences and F12 is brilliant in Otter as it was in the old Opera; Vivaldi does not do this as well
Otter opens faster
Otter's Full-Screen feature is better than Vivaldi's--I like the auto-hiding of tabs in Otter; Vivaldi does not have this
Multiple tabs are handled far better in Otter than in Vivaldi; Vivaldi bogs down with several tabs--not so much in Otter
Panel opens/closes faster in Otter
Otter is more configurable and more intuitively configurable if one is a former Opera Presto user, especially
GUI is less distracting in Otter
Otter feels like Opera-Presto; Vivaldi feels like Chrome
their browser is just another copy of any other webkit crap its a resource hog ... and that forced winblows 8 flat UI is just disaster
Otter is already great, we just need some fixes from QT side
Otter is significantly better than Vivaldi here. Vivaldi is slow and bloated! It feels like Chrome more than Opera 12. Otter has an Opera feel that Vivaldi right now just does not have.
hahah I think I found what is the problem with facebook live chat it is so stupid... and it is infact webkit engine side problem
since all your friends apear on right side in a list, dunno if its TABLE or DIV object but if your page zoom is so high, that that html object "gets out" of your screen, it will show "chat disconnected" and you lose your list/object from right side but if you zoom OUT to such % that object "fits back" into screen, you will be presented back with friend list and chat will work
my screen resolution is 1600x900, it triggers the bug when zoom is at 127% (and above) but works with 125% and less
When I zoom out, I can now see all that you say, but chat remains disconnected for me.
Up until Weekly #51, I could simply hit F2 button and enter a search string or a URL and then hit enter ;whereupon, the new page would open in a NEW tab. Now when doing such a thing, the new page opens in the CURRENT tab. In Preferences/General/Tabs, "Reuse current tab" is unchecked as it has been in previous versions/weeklies. (note: Shift-F2 works by opening the new page in new tab as it has in the past prior to Weekly #51) Thank you and have a "Merry Christmas!"
It seems like Outlook Mail might be the culprit here as Outlook Mail opened alongside other tabs is consistently crashing Otter weekly 49 for me. Otter will crash AFTER closing the Outlook Mail tab. This was not an issue prior to weekly 49. Thank you.
I may have discovered the problem. It seems when I hide the main menu by using Alt-F11, I cannot get access to the closed tabs by clicking on the trash-can icon on the far right side of the tab bar (I simply get a tiny dot when clicking on the trash can icon). But, if I re-enable the main menu via Alt-F11, I can access the closed tab listing via Closed Windows submenu in History menu and the trash-can icon. I hope that is clear. Thank you.
I never noticed this before until Weekly 49. I am playing content in YouTube tab, I then open Outlook Mail tab, I close the Outook Mail tab ... Otter Browser crashes.
