I updated #webkitgtk packages on #slackaroni to 2.52.4 and on aarch64 only, updated #librewolf-151.0.3-1

th-th-that's all folks! https://slackware.lngn.net

For a long time I've been intrigued by #Epiphany taking 3 to 20 seconds to load most websites on startup or in Incognito Mode.

Today I tested a bunch of configurations to report a bug, profiled… and it turned out to be 2 bugs in 1 

* The adblocker (and similar features) makes things slower  : https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/work_items/2880#note_2766101

* WebKitGTK is doing some shenanigans with the system's fonts: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=315135

#Sunstone browser now has a searchable history. The period to display can be set to the last hour, day, week, a custom timeframe or 'all'. There is also an option to group the results by host. By default, 50 results are displayed per page.

This is a WIP and subject to change. This biggest miss so far is a link in the page to navigate beyond the first page of results, although you can get there by appending 'page/<n>' to the url. The link to the host also needs fixed to point to the correct uri scheme. There are other missing features, such as the ability to delete history items or bookmarks, and while there is a growing list of settings there isn't anywhere to change them yet. One step at a time.

History and bookmarks are currently displayed in web page form. I'll be adding abbreviated displays in the sidebar eventually.

Stumbled upon another good example of a simple WordPress website theme causing scrolling performance problems in the latest version of GNOME Web (Epiphany), so I profiled the heck out of it with about 3.6 gigabytes of @WebKitGTK debug symbols installed: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310814

All my #WebKit merge requests have been merged. Now #WebKitGTK supports touch PointerEvent API, touch point coordinates are fractional, synthesized mouse events are unbroken and both WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit handle pointer capture and release according to the spec. This should considerably improve compatibility of #Epiphany (#GNOME Web) with touch interfaces.

There are still some more things to fix in there, maybe someone in #mobilelinux #linuxmobile community would like to give it a try?
