ajam yesterday he advanced us something about the version 0.9 de rekonq.

As he comments in his post, he hopes that with these changes the user will enjoy a more fluid, fast and pleasant navigation. These are some changes / news that this new version will bring us:

  • Suggestion mechanism in URLs, this will try to guess which website the user will open and show suggestions. Already ajam talked about it here y here.
  • Reprogrammed the code of the UserAgent and the UI.
  • Support to synchronize (sync). Support for passwords, history and bookmarks. At the moment it will only handle FTP sites, but work is already underway to add support for many more alternatives (Mozilla Sync, Git Repos, Google Bookmarks, WebDAV, Digg) in future versions.
  • Changes in WebKit options:
  • rekonq: new webkit settings
  • Added tabs on Rekonq pages, which will make it easier to manipulate them.
  • Improvements in the handling of downloads as well as in the download page, showing when the file has been removed and when it really exists.
  • Fixes regarding icons, specifically some details regarding the favicons of the webs have been fixed.
  • Hot keys. These have been imported from Arora and were adjusted following implementations of Konqueror.
  • User session management. Finally rekonq it will restart fine when the session KDE be restored 😀
  • Support for web applications. The explanation of this can be seen in the following video: Video on YouTube

    • In a month or so we will be able to enjoy this stable version.

    Little by little Rekonq is advancing, and although they have not yet decided to support addons / complements, I think it is an excellent alternative 🙂

    regards

      I'm glad that Rekonq's development has become more dynamic, the irony is that qupzilla had to appear to put pressure on him. That's why I keep the latter as a secondary browser after Opera, it is a browser that promises a lot, and advances little by little with each launch.

      What happens to me with Rekonq in KDE is that it closes constantly and then shows an error message to report. That led me to use Opera, which in my opinion runs very fluent in KDE, better than Chromium. (Firefox is a mess with proprietary Nvidia drivers in that environment).
      On my Debian with Openbox, the one that performs the best (for me) is Chromium
