GNOME Web actually GOOD now??

gnome web is actually good now is what I gnome web is actually good now is what I would believe if the gnome team didn't would believe if the gnome team didn't would believe if the gnome team didn't say that every single time that there say that every single time that there say that every single time that there was an update to this web browser in the was an update to this web browser in the was an update to this web browser in the last three years but recently gnome Webb last three years but recently gnome Webb last three years but recently gnome Webb also known as Epiphany has received also known as Epiphany has received also known as Epiphany has received Hardware acceleration thanks to gdk4 and Hardware acceleration thanks to gdk4 and Hardware acceleration thanks to gdk4 and has many more features in the work such has many more features in the work such has many more features in the work such as extension support so maybe finally we as extension support so maybe finally we as extension support so maybe finally we can have a web browser that at least can have a web browser that at least can have a web browser that at least will work well as an alternative to will work well as an alternative to will work well as an alternative to Firefox and Google Chrome but you know Firefox and Google Chrome but you know Firefox and Google Chrome but you know what isn't an alternative to Firefox and what isn't an alternative to Firefox and what isn't an alternative to Firefox and chrome that's right our sponsor flexi chrome that's right our sponsor flexi chrome that's right our sponsor flexi spot in their E7 desk I have been using spot in their E7 desk I have been using spot in their E7 desk I have been using flexispot as my standing desk for some flexispot as my standing desk for some flexispot as my standing desk for some time now particularly the E9 which that time now particularly the E9 which that time now particularly the E9 which that one's awesome I recently switched out my one's awesome I recently switched out my one's awesome I recently switched out my tabletop for an 80 inch and it was tabletop for an 80 inch and it was tabletop for an 80 inch and it was really easy just to take those legs off really easy just to take those legs off really easy just to take those legs off stretch it out pop it on good to go the stretch it out pop it on good to go the stretch it out pop it on good to go the desks feature a dual motor easy to use desks feature a dual motor easy to use desks feature a dual motor easy to use touchpad that allows you to raise lower touchpad that allows you to raise lower touchpad that allows you to raise lower the desk there's a locking mechanism and the desk there's a locking mechanism and the desk there's a locking mechanism and there's preset that's for standing and there's preset that's for standing and there's preset that's for standing and sitting has a little USB so you can plug sitting has a little USB so you can plug sitting has a little USB so you can plug things in there real nice when you first things in there real nice when you first things in there real nice when you first buy it setting it up and installing it's buy it setting it up and installing it's buy it setting it up and installing it's really easy it's only a couple parts you really easy it's only a couple parts you really easy it's only a couple parts you got to put together the E5 desk can got to put together the E5 desk can got to put together the E5 desk can support up to 220 pounds of weight while support up to 220 pounds of weight while support up to 220 pounds of weight while the E7 supports up to 355 pounds the the E7 supports up to 355 pounds the the E7 supports up to 355 pounds the stability is perfect if I shake the desk stability is perfect if I shake the desk stability is perfect if I shake the desk around bang on it it's not going to be around bang on it it's not going to be around bang on it it's not going to be wobbling around everywhere overall I wobbling around everywhere overall I wobbling around everywhere overall I have been super pleased super impressed have been super pleased super impressed have been super pleased super impressed and if you check the link down below and if you check the link down below and if you check the link down below they are going to be running a sale so they are going to be running a sale so they are going to be running a sale so you can go ahead and save yourself a you can go ahead and save yourself a you can go ahead and save yourself a little bit of money so again big thank

little bit of money so again big thank little bit of money so again big thank you to flexi spot for sponsoring this you to flexi spot for sponsoring this you to flexi spot for sponsoring this video so first we're digging gnome Web video so first we're digging gnome Web video so first we're digging gnome Web come from well back in the day talking come from well back in the day talking come from well back in the day talking the year about 2000 or so web browsers the year about 2000 or so web browsers the year about 2000 or so web browsers were used as multi-functional programs were used as multi-functional programs were used as multi-functional programs and did many things all in one even and did many things all in one even and did many things all in one even beyond the scope of what they do today beyond the scope of what they do today beyond the scope of what they do today web browsers then were just kind of web browsers then were just kind of web browsers then were just kind of weird for example before Firefox you'd weird for example before Firefox you'd weird for example before Firefox you'd have the Mozilla application Suite which have the Mozilla application Suite which have the Mozilla application Suite which included a web browser email client and included a web browser email client and included a web browser email client and IRC this made browsers especially for IRC this made browsers especially for IRC this made browsers especially for the time rather bloated as a result the time rather bloated as a result the time rather bloated as a result gnome developed Galleon this was gnome developed Galleon this was gnome developed Galleon this was designed to be one thing and one thing designed to be one thing and one thing designed to be one thing and one thing only and that is a basic web browser and only and that is a basic web browser and only and that is a basic web browser and at the time it was actually pretty at the time it was actually pretty at the time it was actually pretty popular due to its speed and flexibility popular due to its speed and flexibility popular due to its speed and flexibility and the fact that it used mozilla's and the fact that it used mozilla's and the fact that it used mozilla's gecko engine however only a couple years gecko engine however only a couple years gecko engine however only a couple years later gnome would start adopting its new later gnome would start adopting its new later gnome would start adopting its new design guidelines which was supposed to design guidelines which was supposed to design guidelines which was supposed to make things simpler to develop and use make things simpler to develop and use make things simpler to develop and use by dumbing down the UI and removing by dumbing down the UI and removing by dumbing down the UI and removing extra preferences many power users extra preferences many power users extra preferences many power users didn't like this then it actually didn't like this then it actually didn't like this then it actually resulted in the creator of Galleon resulted in the creator of Galleon resulted in the creator of Galleon forking his own project to create forking his own project to create forking his own project to create Epiphany which followed those gnome Epiphany which followed those gnome Epiphany which followed those gnome guidelines however while Gekko was great guidelines however while Gekko was great guidelines however while Gekko was great Mozilla viewed it as a Firefox component Mozilla viewed it as a Firefox component Mozilla viewed it as a Firefox component completely ignoring other projects this completely ignoring other projects this completely ignoring other projects this made developing with the gecko engine made developing with the gecko engine made developing with the gecko engine rather difficult so then they would rather difficult so then they would rather difficult so then they would begin transitioning development using begin transitioning development using begin transitioning development using the webkit engine the same engine that the webkit engine the same engine that the webkit engine the same engine that powers the Safari web browser today with powers the Safari web browser today with powers the Safari web browser today with version 2.28 of epiphany completing this version 2.28 of epiphany completing this version 2.28 of epiphany completing this transition there'd be many bug fix transition there'd be many bug fix transition there'd be many bug fix updates as well as the 3.0 release which updates as well as the 3.0 release which updates as well as the 3.0 release which upgraded it from gtk2 to gtk3 and then

upgraded it from gtk2 to gtk3 and then upgraded it from gtk2 to gtk3 and then the 3.0 release which renamed it from the 3.0 release which renamed it from the 3.0 release which renamed it from Epiphany to gnome web 3.10 would add the Epiphany to gnome web 3.10 would add the Epiphany to gnome web 3.10 would add the header bar which brought it up to date header bar which brought it up to date header bar which brought it up to date with standard genome design and every with standard genome design and every with standard genome design and every other update going forward would be other update going forward would be other update going forward would be relatively minor until recently outside relatively minor until recently outside relatively minor until recently outside of a few major releases it was mainly in of a few major releases it was mainly in of a few major releases it was mainly in maintenance mode with chromium and maintenance mode with chromium and maintenance mode with chromium and Firefox getting major updates very often Firefox getting major updates very often Firefox getting major updates very often watch in comparison to those browsers it watch in comparison to those browsers it watch in comparison to those browsers it was often painful to use because it was often painful to use because it was often painful to use because it couldn't run your favorite browser couldn't run your favorite browser couldn't run your favorite browser extensions didn't support Hardware extensions didn't support Hardware extensions didn't support Hardware acceleration which made it rather acceleration which made it rather acceleration which made it rather sluggish for example in a recent version sluggish for example in a recent version sluggish for example in a recent version of gnome web I could barely load some of of gnome web I could barely load some of of gnome web I could barely load some of the YouTube videos I was trying to watch the YouTube videos I was trying to watch the YouTube videos I was trying to watch however gnome web development has been however gnome web development has been however gnome web development has been booming as of recently with many new booming as of recently with many new booming as of recently with many new game changing features in the works and game changing features in the works and game changing features in the works and by game changing I don't really mean by game changing I don't really mean by game changing I don't really mean like against other web browsers it's like against other web browsers it's like against other web browsers it's just kind of just kind of just kind of putting it up with them a little bit putting it up with them a little bit putting it up with them a little bit more all of the last seven major more all of the last seven major more all of the last seven major releases have had major improvements to releases have had major improvements to releases have had major improvements to know and Webb you can own 3.36 that know and Webb you can own 3.36 that know and Webb you can own 3.36 that added Mobile support 3.38 added added Mobile support 3.38 added added Mobile support 3.38 added intelligent tracking protection you know intelligent tracking protection you know intelligent tracking protection you know 40 included the redesigned tab bar 41 40 included the redesigned tab bar 41 40 included the redesigned tab bar 41 added improved to dark mode and better added improved to dark mode and better added improved to dark mode and better handling of unresponsive websites 42.

handling of unresponsive websites 42. handling of unresponsive websites 42. finally added Hardware acceleration finally added Hardware acceleration finally added Hardware acceleration making scrolling and actually smooth making scrolling and actually smooth making scrolling and actually smooth experience 43 revitalized how web apps experience 43 revitalized how web apps experience 43 revitalized how web apps work in the dome web which leads us to work in the dome web which leads us to work in the dome web which leads us to the latest release of gnome 44 and that the latest release of gnome 44 and that the latest release of gnome 44 and that would be the port 2 gtk4 and libueda as would be the port 2 gtk4 and libueda as would be the port 2 gtk4 and libueda as well as major preference enhancements well as major preference enhancements well as major preference enhancements within web so is gnome web actually good within web so is gnome web actually good within web so is gnome web actually good now well now well now well for now the answer is no so let's go for now the answer is no so let's go for now the answer is no so let's go over the update of a liberated when this over the update of a liberated when this over the update of a liberated when this brings the nugenome theme to the app but brings the nugenome theme to the app but brings the nugenome theme to the app but I couldn't really notice any other I couldn't really notice any other I couldn't really notice any other changes outside of the theme I did changes outside of the theme I did changes outside of the theme I did notice some widget changes in the gtk notice some widget changes in the gtk notice some widget changes in the gtk expecter like the ADW tab bar now being expecter like the ADW tab bar now being expecter like the ADW tab bar now being used for tabs although I am disappointed used for tabs although I am disappointed used for tabs although I am disappointed that gnome web isn't using the new tab that gnome web isn't using the new tab that gnome web isn't using the new tab overview widget that live away to just overview widget that live away to just overview widget that live away to just add it recently in 1.3 which also came add it recently in 1.3 which also came add it recently in 1.3 which also came out around the same time so maybe it out around the same time so maybe it out around the same time so maybe it will show up in the next release it's will show up in the next release it's will show up in the next release it's also using the Liberator settings page also using the Liberator settings page also using the Liberator settings page but the differences between the gnome but the differences between the gnome but the differences between the gnome web and 43 and 44 is a rather minor web and 43 and 44 is a rather minor web and 43 and 44 is a rather minor outside of the UI there have been some outside of the UI there have been some outside of the UI there have been some substantial improvements within the substantial improvements within the substantial improvements within the performance thanks to Patches added performance thanks to Patches added performance thanks to Patches added Upstream to webkit as well as the port Upstream to webkit as well as the port Upstream to webkit as well as the port gtk4 just general web browsing on gnome gtk4 just general web browsing on gnome gtk4 just general web browsing on gnome web n44 is so much faster and get this web n44 is so much faster and get this web n44 is so much faster and get this you can actually open YouTube videos now you can actually open YouTube videos now you can actually open YouTube videos now however this still isn't the fastest however this still isn't the fastest however this still isn't the fastest experience in the world just for shits experience in the world just for shits experience in the world just for shits and giggles I've been running gnome web and giggles I've been running gnome web and giggles I've been running gnome web as a general web browser for the last as a general web browser for the last as a general web browser for the last few weeks and it has been running few weeks and it has been running few weeks and it has been running decently fast although again not as fast decently fast although again not as fast decently fast although again not as fast as Firefox and chromium I've been able

as Firefox and chromium I've been able as Firefox and chromium I've been able to browse General articles for scripts to browse General articles for scripts to browse General articles for scripts browse General social media sites like browse General social media sites like browse General social media sites like Twitter and using things like Google Twitter and using things like Google Twitter and using things like Google docs for school has not really been an docs for school has not really been an docs for school has not really been an issue at all but I still do notice some issue at all but I still do notice some issue at all but I still do notice some stability issues especially on YouTube stability issues especially on YouTube stability issues especially on YouTube specifically when I frequently find specifically when I frequently find specifically when I frequently find myself needing to close and reopen the myself needing to close and reopen the myself needing to close and reopen the browser because something just froze I browser because something just froze I browser because something just froze I think the biggest cause of this is a think the biggest cause of this is a think the biggest cause of this is a webkit for those who don't know webkit webkit for those who don't know webkit webkit for those who don't know webkit is an engine gnome web users and the is an engine gnome web users and the is an engine gnome web users and the webkit actually originates from khtml webkit actually originates from khtml webkit actually originates from khtml which was a KDE project Apple later which was a KDE project Apple later which was a KDE project Apple later forked webkit for its Safari browser and forked webkit for its Safari browser and forked webkit for its Safari browser and then Google actually forked it into then Google actually forked it into then Google actually forked it into blink for Chrome which this technically blink for Chrome which this technically blink for Chrome which this technically makes gnome web the closest thing we makes gnome web the closest thing we makes gnome web the closest thing we have to Safari for Linux which may be have to Safari for Linux which may be have to Safari for Linux which may be where they got some of the design where they got some of the design where they got some of the design inspiration from anyhow not only does inspiration from anyhow not only does inspiration from anyhow not only does gnome web feel a lot slower than gnome web feel a lot slower than gnome web feel a lot slower than chromium and Firefox but it also falls chromium and Firefox but it also falls chromium and Firefox but it also falls behind on things like HTML5 tests behind on things like HTML5 tests behind on things like HTML5 tests working home web scores a 454 while working home web scores a 454 while working home web scores a 454 while Firefox and chromium score a 515 and 526 Firefox and chromium score a 515 and 526 Firefox and chromium score a 515 and 526 respectively to be fair webkit does respectively to be fair webkit does respectively to be fair webkit does block some HTML elements that are likely block some HTML elements that are likely block some HTML elements that are likely unnoticeable for a user in order to unnoticeable for a user in order to unnoticeable for a user in order to prevent fingerprinting but webkit is prevent fingerprinting but webkit is prevent fingerprinting but webkit is also known for being the main annoyance also known for being the main annoyance also known for being the main annoyance for web developers after the death of for web developers after the death of for web developers after the death of Internet Explorer with web developers Internet Explorer with web developers Internet Explorer with web developers often needing to make significant often needing to make significant often needing to make significant changes in their code that Target Safari changes in their code that Target Safari changes in their code that Target Safari and webkit specifically and honestly I and webkit specifically and honestly I and webkit specifically and honestly I don't think most of these devs would don't think most of these devs would don't think most of these devs would actually Target webkit at all if it actually Target webkit at all if it actually Target webkit at all if it weren't for the fact that it is the only weren't for the fact that it is the only weren't for the fact that it is the only web browser allowed on iOS at least for

web browser allowed on iOS at least for web browser allowed on iOS at least for now so at least for now I'm not really now so at least for now I'm not really now so at least for now I'm not really going to be daily driving gnome web I going to be daily driving gnome web I going to be daily driving gnome web I can't wait for the day that I could use can't wait for the day that I could use can't wait for the day that I could use just the integrated gnome web browser just the integrated gnome web browser just the integrated gnome web browser it's going to be super cool but I do it's going to be super cool but I do it's going to be super cool but I do think the future and what they have think the future and what they have think the future and what they have planning and some of the test features planning and some of the test features planning and some of the test features that are available make just the future that are available make just the future that are available make just the future bright I'm not really a fan of how bright I'm not really a fan of how bright I'm not really a fan of how Google essentially controls the entire Google essentially controls the entire Google essentially controls the entire web browser Market with its dominance of web browser Market with its dominance of web browser Market with its dominance of chromium-based web browsers we actually chromium-based web browsers we actually chromium-based web browsers we actually have a whole separate video on that have a whole separate video on that have a whole separate video on that worth checking out click the I wherever worth checking out click the I wherever worth checking out click the I wherever it is and while webkit is still far it is and while webkit is still far it is and while webkit is still far behind blink and Gekko I think Webb behind blink and Gekko I think Webb behind blink and Gekko I think Webb could ultimately be a really good could ultimately be a really good could ultimately be a really good alternative to something like chromium alternative to something like chromium alternative to something like chromium especially if they continue development especially if they continue development especially if they continue development and if Firefox keeps making interesting and if Firefox keeps making interesting and if Firefox keeps making interesting decisions now other than just the decisions now other than just the decisions now other than just the general stability performance of it it's general stability performance of it it's general stability performance of it it's incredibly basic as a web browser and incredibly basic as a web browser and incredibly basic as a web browser and the one thing it's been missing forever the one thing it's been missing forever the one thing it's been missing forever that is kind of needed is browser that is kind of needed is browser that is kind of needed is browser extensions and they are working on that extensions and they are working on that extensions and they are working on that and that is going to be coming soon and and that is going to be coming soon and and that is going to be coming soon and we can actually go ahead and test this we can actually go ahead and test this we can actually go ahead and test this functionality and capability note that functionality and capability note that functionality and capability note that this is like beta output it's not ready this is like beta output it's not ready this is like beta output it's not ready for actual daily use it is technically for actual daily use it is technically for actual daily use it is technically an experimental feature right now it's an experimental feature right now it's an experimental feature right now it's unstable doesn't work all the time but unstable doesn't work all the time but unstable doesn't work all the time but it is being worked on and that's what's it is being worked on and that's what's it is being worked on and that's what's important you can actually enable this important you can actually enable this important you can actually enable this functionality within the terminal with a functionality within the terminal with a functionality within the terminal with a couple commands or by enabling a g couple commands or by enabling a g couple commands or by enabling a g setting within the D comp editor and setting within the D comp editor and setting within the D comp editor and then you could go to the Firefox web then you could go to the Firefox web then you could go to the Firefox web store manually download extensions and

store manually download extensions and store manually download extensions and then try them out within good known web then try them out within good known web then try them out within good known web again highly experimental a lot of again highly experimental a lot of again highly experimental a lot of things probably aren't going to work things probably aren't going to work things probably aren't going to work properly as of yet but the progress properly as of yet but the progress properly as of yet but the progress they've made still gets me excited so they've made still gets me excited so they've made still gets me excited so while it's not really technically a good while it's not really technically a good while it's not really technically a good web browser as of yet compared to some web browser as of yet compared to some web browser as of yet compared to some of the other ones and even compared to of the other ones and even compared to of the other ones and even compared to the uh KDE web browser the uh KDE web browser the uh KDE web browser Ade makes a lot of wonderful Ade makes a lot of wonderful Ade makes a lot of wonderful applications krita Kaden live a bunch of applications krita Kaden live a bunch of applications krita Kaden live a bunch of stuff the web browser is not one of them stuff the web browser is not one of them stuff the web browser is not one of them I do think gnome web could be a real I do think gnome web could be a real I do think gnome web could be a real option in the next two or three releases option in the next two or three releases option in the next two or three releases or so and we should be paying real close or so and we should be paying real close or so and we should be paying real close attention to those updates but until attention to those updates but until attention to those updates but until then yeah it's not a good web browser then yeah it's not a good web browser then yeah it's not a good web browser yet and probably one of the best places yet and probably one of the best places yet and probably one of the best places to learn about the actual update to learn about the actual update to learn about the actual update progress and see when new releases of progress and see when new releases of progress and see when new releases of these types of things dropped is these types of things dropped is these types of things dropped is probably the tech Hut newsletter if you probably the tech Hut newsletter if you probably the tech Hut newsletter if you go over to tech.tv there's a little go over to tech.tv there's a little go over to tech.tv there's a little subscribe button click that throw your subscribe button click that throw your subscribe button click that throw your email in and you will get a Weekly email in and you will get a Weekly email in and you will get a Weekly Newsletter rounding up some of the good Newsletter rounding up some of the good Newsletter rounding up some of the good old Tech and Linux news and with all old Tech and Linux news and with all old Tech and Linux news and with all that I do hope you have an absolutely that I do hope you have an absolutely that I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day and good bye
