On my development system, I thought I'd give epiphany another trial,
using the development book, but with as few of the recommended deps
as possible. Seems to work (for some value of work - see below),
but not something I'd recommend (e.g. no obvious way to get a blank
new tab - I don't want to get a set of sites I've previously used),
which is a pity because webkitgtk gets updated a lot sooner than
qtwebengine, and is a much quicker build.
But even for just testing it, there are two issues:
1. For many sites, images do not appear, instead I get empty boxes
where the image should be. Or sometimes one or two images appear
and just text on a white background, e.g. www.theinquirer.net,
www.theregister.co.uk.
2. On almost every https: site, it tells me the certificate was not
issued by a known authority (but no details of the certificate) and
that it might be an impostor (both of the above sites, if my memory
is correct, but also google, amazon, ebay, lwn.net) although it does
let me take the risk of connecting. Of course, these all work ok in
my other browsers.
If anyone uses this, do these things work for them ? If so, maybe a
missing dependency solves it - any suggestions ?
The packages I've built for this (beyond my usual gtk3 /
introspection / vala and all of the gpg stuff) are:
ldns,
ruby,
gcr (a runtime dep, but meson wants it to be installed),
webkitgtk,
libseccomp,
gnome-desktop,
epiphany.
Thanks for reading.
