Implementation in a click-to-change-zoom way would be difficult for interactive SVGs, hence I think always rendering to fit in the browser window is best, unless they specify a physical (ie. mm, inches, etc.) size.

PS: I'd say the question of scaling up SVGs designed to be small is out of scope for this idea. I think SVGs with dimensions smaller than the browser window should rendered with those dimensions.

Epiphany should provide a front end similar to Firefox but interfacing with libgdict to save space, avoiding the bloat of a separate dictionary like Firefox.

This should be provided as a optional extension.

Ubuntu Brainstorm was updated in January 2009. Since the idea #9040 was submitted before this update, its rationale and solution are not separated. Please vote accordingly, and if you have the necessary rights, please separate the rationale from the solution. Thanks!

The epiphany-webkit package worked pretty well in 8.10, but I can't get it working in 9.04. The Gecko (FF's rendering backend) version always loads.

That is not a complete resolution to the issue. Midori was also OK, but it's still unstable in 9.04 at this point. Epiphany's Webkit version is the obvious answer since Epiphany will ultimately switch from Gecko to Webkit, or so it seems. Epiphany is also somewhat integrated into Nautilus as far as I can tell, for those who like their browser integrated with their file manager.

(Like Windows Explorer, especially in the good old days! Ha.)

A lot of people might find Google Chrome to be a Webkit-based solution to this problem. I like Chrome, I run a pre-alpha daily build version on my Ubuntu install, but I sometimes think Google is too big for its own good. A solid WebKit browser that is detached from such a large corporation would be ideal.

Maybe someone would even consider porting it to Mac and Windows!

Firefox already has a competitor in Chromium, and it is already driving innovation. Sure, its not a "right now" solution, but in a year we should have a nice Webkit browser available for download.

i think of this as sooner or later Google will stop helping Firefox as it became a competitor.

if just canonical helps Firefox to be faster at opening the browser, and don't suck much memory specially on flash, and better JavaScript performance, also a 64 native version that will be awesome.


NOTE: i am using Firefox 3.5 Beta, now most of the plug-ins aren't available, but the performance is much more improved and there are new features like if u drag a tab out it will make it in new window.

i know its hard for canonical but the browser is very important, as we are moving to the cloud, and i don't trust Google, and making a ubuntu browser from scratch will be a hell of a job, and Firefox have the 2nd place already, so if Firefox got the chrome speed many people will stay on Firefox.

i noticed that chromium is far more compatible with websites than FF versions later than 3.0
since many people want to have a FF version similar to the one shipped to win users, they probably install 3.5 or later versions which are quite picky about non standard websites

Using Ubuntu One you could sync bookmarks and/or passwords and recover deleted bookmarks and/or passwords.

This would be similar to the functionality provided by the xmarks addon for Firefox.

Everything said already, see reasons in Rationale...

Please take care, I don't say "Chrome" - I say "Chromium", so we are always uptodate. There is already a ppa for this.

This way you would bring the people back to epiphany, what has many advantages in the meaning of telepathy and consistent gnome look and feel and so on.

It's open source, and it's the fastest engine... so just use it for epiphany - or let the user decide if he wants epiphany-chromium package.
