Appreciation

I just really wanted to say that I think the concept of both a more organised and private mobile browser is fantastic!

The container tabs are really neat and the fact that you can lock each container is chefs kiss great. The browsing experience in and of itself works pretty well even though this seems like very early days for the project, often loading pages and video faster than with regular Firefox. And I have to commend the pretty decent UI for the web engine hardening which makes it easy for me (not well versed in code), to access features I previously didn't know much about.

Not to say my experience has been completely problem free. I do find that the browsers own UI (specifically the tab organiser) is particularly laggy. Scrolling either through tabs or containers, as well as moving around any UI which isn't the webpage feels stuttery and unresponsive, even on what is a high end phone (S25 Ultra). This does unfortunately degrade the experience of one of the main "selling" points but I'm willing to put up with that currently as a person who's just particularly interested in tech and the bleeding edge.

Keep up the good work and hope to see this improve over time! Cheers from Sweden.

Thank you for the kind words and feedback @JoeyHamlet ! I'm happy you are liking the concept. Especially in the last releases there were a lot of UI changes involved. I didn't spent a lot of time optimizing the UI yet, as I expect few more changes to happen. I plan to invest some time on improving the performance next week. In case you have more input UI or non UI related, whatever it is, please feel free to share.

Yea, I actually have one comment on something I noticed. There are some issues when accessing the URL bar and the menu below it. Swiping above the URL makes the UI feels sticky and you have to either swipe very aggressively or swipe several times to move it. Swiping from below the URL bar yields expected results, with a light swipe the whole menu gets exposed and swiping downwards makes it disappear just as seamlessly. Attached a screen recording to demonstrate, touch input should be visible.

Let me know if I should put this as an issue instead of a discussion.

Yeah that's an issue indeed I didn't notice it because I'm usually lazy and just tab outside the sheet to close it instead of using a swipe. I will look into it the next days 👍

I noticed there's a similar issue with the tab organiser but the boundaries for where it works as intended and where it feels "sticky" are much less obvious. Seems unable to upload a video of this one (keep getting some kind of error), but visually it's much similar to the previous recording. Just using the tab organiser instead of the URL options.

Edit: spelling correction

@JoeyHamlet please try out the most recent release v0.9.24, I have worked on some physics to replicate the scroll velocity
