Bug 70368 – [Qt] MiniBrowser seems to be busted on qt5

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: WebKit2

[Gopal Raghavan]

Probably due to all the dependencies with qwidget in qt5.
I propose that we have a super simple qml based minibrowser.

This is a MiniBrowser implementation based on qml. The browser has three regions: toggle, url and webview. Toggle allows us to switch between TouchWebView and DesktopWebView. If you click on 'D' it will go to DesktopWebView, if you click on 'T' it will go to TouchWebView. In the url area you can enter a specific url.The webview area itself renders the content.

Zeno is working on this in bug #70315

I don't think it should be in addition of MiniBrowser, it should replace it.

I think also the view switching is not very nice the way it is implemented.

I think it's work in progress rather than a working thing. I can't land as it is for sure.

Also please sync with zeno to figure out what is the plan.

You can just put an Item then.

Jocelyn and me are currently working on a complete replacement for MiniBrowser based on Qt5 and QML.
