I see. Buffers may benefit vimb, by the way. For example, you can keep track of all opened links in the current window with last position on every page and applied settings. The most efficient way to handle URL switches I've come up with is to check whether or not current (sub)domain has changed. If so, then switch settings to the default and apply new settings if necessary. I think it's better not to reset all settings at once but only those that have been changed in previous "buffer". I don't know how much it will affect performance although. > 2.

In webkitgtk, as far as I know, this is impossible. So there is nothing we can do about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Flow-based real-time traffic analytics software. Cisco certified tool.
