What about performance? I would assume that to get a good user experience (and long battery life!) the browser would need some help from HW acceleration for graphics and e.g. the <video> element of html5.
Can this really be accomplished with a browser that is downloaded and installed? Does it not call for a tight integration between the browser and the underlying HW? (And is this not what is done on iPhone/Android, and recently MS announced HW accelerated graphics for IE9) On the topic, does anyone know about to what extent QtWebKit is HW accelerated? //Stefan On Fri, May 28, 2010 at 6:36 PM, Markus <[email protected]> wrote: > Am Freitag 28 Mai 2010, 17:23:15 schrieb Arjan van de Ven: > > > for the netbook it's simple: > > I do not see the point of spending 100+ manyears to go from a html > > rendering engine to a competitive browser, if a good and very competitive > > browser already exists. > > While I think that you are far exaggerating the amount of work that needs > to > be put into "netbookifying" Arora (which apart from a few kinks in the GUI > is > a good browser IMHO), I appreciate the answer. > > Btw, I remembered an Arora tracking bug for a suitable netbook GUI: > http://code.google.com/p/arora/issues/detail?id=302 > In case anyone is interested resolving those issues... > _______________________________________________ > MeeGo-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev >
