#qutebrowser v3.0.0 is happeniiiiing! Took us almost two years since the Qt 6.2 release (first Qt 6 with QtWebEngine), but now everything seems to be ready. Aiming for a release today!
ALT Screenshot of the qutebrowser v3.0.0 milestone on GitHub. Last updated 5 minutes ago, 100% complete, 0 open issues, 33 closed issues.
Some 3 months late, #qutebrowser finally dropped support for #Python 3.6! Wanted to release v2.5.0 first, because the next release will be 3.0.0 with lots of old stuff dropped anyways. If you use Qt < 5.15, 32-bit Windows, macOS Mojave, or QtWebKit, shout! github.com/qutebrowser/quteb…
After a sudden hostile (and/or grossly incompetent) takeover by @freenodestaff tonight, the #qutebrowser IRC channel is now on @liberachat: blog.qutebrowser.org/qutebro… - I urge other projects to do the same sooner rather than later, as long as you can still tell your users about it.
#qutebrowser finally has a ABP-style adblocker, based on the #rust adblocking library by @brave! Thanks to Árni Dagur for all the hard work on implementing this, a big effort started in March - now finally merged. 🎉 "adblock" on PyPI is usable for other #Python projects too!
TIL: Chromium supports minimal overlay scrollbars via --enable-features=OverlayScrollbar, which is now the default in #qutebrowser (rather than having no scrollbars and the percentage indicator only) :)
Hey! @the_compiler on the keys, finally got around to creating an official Twitter account for #qutebrowser. Will probably not tweet much from here though, follow @the_compiler for more content :)
