Get a faster computer with a better graphics card. PCIE G5 will give you best scrolling performance on most sites.

Disabling the AdBlocker will decrease overall speed, if anything.

Video playback is off by default for a reason. It only makes sense to enable on websites that you want to watch videos on.

Thanks for the update!

Is there a way to improve scrolling smoothness? I have deactivated AdBlock and video playback options which improved loading and scrolling speed a bit

8.11 out with a small tweak: I've enabled a HTML API that was required for www.meta.ai to work - so if you want to chat with LLama 3.1 AI or generate some images with AI, you can now do it on MorphOS :)

Wayfarer 8.10 out now.

Changes:
- Rebased to latest stable WebKitGTK 2.44.3
- Fixed a rare crash when hitting back/forward buttons
- Updated cURL

Yeah! YT can be played normal again - no endless loading-sessions.

@ jacadcaps - Woww!, You really keep "on-top" of your "homework", don't you!

You get an 11 out of 10 from me.

8.9 is another bugfix release:

- Added a Youtube Experience popup first time www.youtube.com is loaded
- Fixed an issue where local storage would be completely wiped on most Wayfarer starts leading to page settings loss / logouts / etc
- Fixed a crash when clicking the notification permission popup
- Fixed a race condition in MediaSource player
- Fixed Navigator API to report correct # of hw threads
- Fixed to report actual screen sizes via the Screen API
- Fixed a rare crash when transitioning to a new url within a page

Perfect! Everything works great. Thanks a lot!

Wayfarer 8.8 out now to address crashes when playing media with Media Source Extensions and video synchronization issues.

Can confirm issue of @ghh!

Video playback with Wayfarer8.7 is choppy or delayed, about 20 seconds plays fine and then 40 seconds plays choppy and so on. All videos play like this not just YouTube.
Wayfarer8.6 with exactly the same settings works normally.

Here is a video from my phone.
https://youtu.be/4ebqIdDfoQc

The first 2 minutes is Wayfarer8.6 (for comparison) and the second 2 minutes is Wayfarer8.7.
The behavior is the same if I use Youtube Experience Mobile or SmartTV.
It doesn't matter what the video is or its quality or length or anything like that.

I want to report a problem but so far it only happened one time:

I had several Tabs open and I could reload the Tabs or close them, but I could not quit Wayferer. The last Tab stayed open. Will see if this happens again.

That suggests a problem with Wifi, not Wayfarer. Given the amount of information provided (as in: not much), it can be anything, really.

Kann ich nicht nachvollziehen - kann hier GB-große Daten laden......

Ich habe ein reproduzierbares Problem mit Wayfarer 8.7

Beim Download einer größeren Datei (größer als 10MB) bricht die WLAN Verbindung zusammen und funktioniert erst nach einem Neustart wieder. Ich wollte Odyssee 1.26 laden aber immer bei ca. 14-15MB der geladenen Datei, geht nichts mehr.

Die gleiche Datei unter iBrowse geladen, verursacht kein Probleme.

Ah ok, I didn't know. It's just a small thing so I don't mind waiting.

@hotrod

It's a known bug. I'll get to it eventually.

Why do some people answer with something unrelated? It's supposed to move when you scroll. That's the issue.

What kind of reply is that?

Yes, but the website scrolls down anyway.

I've noticed that on some sites, when scrolling using the scrollwheel on the mouse the scrollbar doesn't move.

Here for example: https://www.lemonamiga.com/games/list.php?list_genre=Strategy&lineoffset=336

Thank you very much for your explanations!

Frankly spoken I would really wish to have those information on the Wayfarer website. At least a proper documentation on how to set up Wayfarer which is updated if anything in the options has changed.

With every release, Wayfarer becomes more powerful and at least for me, a common user, it is hard to keep the pace with all the functions.

youtube.com/tv should be the fastest content to play, and as our platform is pretty weak with the web video playback, it's been set as the default nowadays.

I had some issues in the past with the TV version not opening the called URL after login screens etc., but it seems to work fine now if I set the YouTube Experience to "SmartTV". Maybe your issue was that you had the wrong User-Agent for the www.youtube.com/tv as jaca suggested, because it's used with the SmartTV option. For me it opens a fullscreen login prompt where I just click the big round Guest button in the middle of the screen to continue to the actual video... to get that kind of view you most likely need the Amazon Fire Stick set for the www.youtube.com/tv.

I don't see that big difference in speed with TV compared to Mobile, so I rather use the Mobile version like you, because it has more information visible at once on the screen with no login step, but it's about what you like to use in the end.

Thank you so much, jPV! You gave me the right direction!

I played a bit with the options and my guess is, it is all about the right settings for ww.youtube.com: there, for YouTube experiences, it has to be set to "Mobile". Then it works.

Because it makes absolutely no sense (and sould be completely independent from my settings, I find), that if I try to open a common YouTube video link, I am redirected to youtube.com/tv. I have never experienced such a behaviour on other systems or browsers, OWB included.

I am totally relieved and grateful, that finally I can open YouTube links.
And, by the way, I was also astonished, that it also works so great with OWB!

I really haven't tried all options, but these settings do work for me in the way you asked (tested with your amiga-news.de link):

m.youtube.com - User-Agent Safari (iPad), Media Source Playback disabled for speedup on Mac mini
www.youtube.com - YouTube experience Mobile, User-Agent Safari (was normal, but changed it to iPad version now)
www.youtube.com/tv - Amazon Fire Stick
