Arora browser wishlist

Posted by lucidfox.org at

URL bar:

  • Clicking an entry in the URL bar autocomplete list should open that page instead of just putting the address in the bar and requiring to press Enter.
  • Search by any part of the URL. For example, if I had previously visited http://www.linux.org.ru/view-all.jsp, I expect it to come up when searching for "lin" or "view".
  • Better cooperation with faulty themes. The bar shouldn't go all black just because the QtCurve and GTK themes draw gradients incorrectly.

Tabs:

  • Close button on each tab (not possible until Qt 4.5?).
  • Closing by middle click

Search box:

  • Google Suggest dropdown list
  • Support for local search engines via OpenSearch (implemented in midori, which uses webkit-gtk)

Bookmarks:

  • One-click bookmarking - just add it directly to the menu, or to a subfolder, not to "Uncategorized" like in Firefox 3

General:

  • Improved scrolling and textarea typing performance - probably a problem with webkit in general, since the GTK version suffers from this as well
  • Ad blocker
  • Per-site configuration for enabling JavaScript, plugins and images
