I transferred over to using Wayfarer v5.3 after I installed MorphOS v3.18. All seemed to be OK with Wayfarer, but today I was using it, and found that first of all the cookies where I had saved my profile were now not working, and I had to log back in, but the one for the BBC kept saying "something had gone wrong/wasn't working right, try again later". When I tried to log in to my webmail it accepted the username and password, and stated I had successfully logged in, but then dropped back to the same login screen, even though the page shown in the URL field indicated it should be the inbox page?

Anyone else having such issues?

I dropped back to Wayfarer v5.1 and it is all working as it should be, even the BBC - showed me logged in, and my webmail service allowed me to login without any issue!

[UPDATE] I have since relaunched Wayfarer v5.3, and it has allowed me to access my webmail page and the BBC login mechanism worked OK, but I find that when I returned to M-Zone I was logged out again, and had to login again, which with previous versions of Wayfarer I have not had to do, once I had initially logged in due to the version being new.

oh, Wow!

Remove Youtube Suggestions coming to Wayfarer

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/remove-youtube-s-suggestions/

Wayfarer 5.3 is now available.

- Fixed file:/// handling to resolve issues with relative file schema URIs
- Added a workaround for a NetStack bug in MorphOS 3.14-3.18 that potentially trashes memory via bogus errno pointer
- Updated cURL and sqlite

Wayfarer 5.2 is now available! This version fixes high CPU load with github.com, updates easylist adblock data and introduces a user script to remove some youtube gradients.

To illustrate: when you pause video on YT, you'd normally get



but with the script installed you'll see



To install the user script, open User Scripts from the Debug menu. Hit Import and load the Scripts/yt-no-gradients.json file from Wayfarer's directory. Select the script, make sure Enabled is checked (it'll be off by default) and hit Apply. Reload YT. Profit.

As a reminder, always extract the whole wayfarer archive over the existing installation so that you don't miss any new files. This Wayfarer build will NOT run on MorphOS 3.17 or older.

@ jacadcaps - I hadn't noticed the Back/Forward key options you have now implemented, that I requested quite some time ago - THANKS. I had not expected to find them in their very own separate 'History' menu option, though I didn't notice them mentioned in the newly added features to Wayfarer when v5.1 was released, or did I just 'blink' and overlook that information in the release notes?

Also, thanks for looking into Wayfarer's HTTP2 error handling currently being too strict, and I look forward to a 'tweaked' version to fix this annoying issue, once you've recovered from all your efforts in getting the v3.18 release out to us all. For which I offer my usual gratitude to you, and everyone else who's associated with the MorphOS Development Team, involved in making it happen - many thanks to you, one and all.

@ jacadcaps - Well I didn't have sufficient intuition or information there to realise about ASL not being derived as part of Intuition, so thanks for correcting my thinking on that score.

So why does the ASL requster that pops-up when saving a file in Wayfarer not allow the Command (Amiga)+N (New Folder) or any of the other Command (Amiga) + 'keys' (Delete, Rename, Parent, etc.) to generate the action it does with OWB (Odyssey), even though you can use the menu/mouse to choose one of those options by highlighting one?

@NewSense

ASL is actually part of MUI these days and has never been a part of inuition. Did you find the Back hotkey, btw? :)

@All

I was made aware of github.com being very slow with Wayfarer. A fix has just entered testing.

Quote: What would be even better IMHO would be for Wayfarer to remember where it was 'pointed' to download a file into a specific directory the last time a download was initiated using the 'Download linked file as' actually 'to' as that is often where you have to keep redirecting the ASL requester, by choosing from the 'Directory History' the 2nd option from that ASL option, in effect Wayfarer is by-passing, not utilising, the underlying MorphOS 'Intuition' capabilities to do the 'heavy lifting' it seems to me.

OWB-Odyssey uses this Intuition ASL capability very well, and I just wish it was incorporated in Wayfarer.

Having a separate 'set this path as default' option usually doesn't send the file to where you want to keep it in every circumstance, but having Intuition 'catch'/'remember' the likely place on a second 'Download linked file as' would save many such circumstances of otherwise having to use the 'Directory History' option to re-direct the file to where you actually want it to be saved. Well it certainly would for me.

I can obviously live with the small amount of effort required to download the file where I really want it to be saved, but it is certainly a 'niggle'.

Having said that 5.1 seems to be working very well, so thanks a lot, to you and others for all your efforts who have made this version as good as it is.

Seconded... It's impressive how far Wayfarer has come in terms of improved features and performance in such a short time! Thank you!

Thank you Jacad for updateing Wayfarer and Iris - als allways: brilliant work!

\o/

Wayfarer 5.1 is now out.

- Fixed a MediaSource player crash if the incoming chunk has a higher # of streams than the current chunk
- Download As asl's path can now be stored separately from the standard download path
- Avoid redraws when WebKit calls a scroll function despite offsets not changing
- Improved tab key navigation
- Hotkey tweaks

Added? No. Adapted? Quite possibly.

@ DayWalker - thanks for suggesting Vimium web-browser keyboard extension for Firefox, but as it sadly doesn't work with Wayfarer (as yet?) we can't use this functionality on Wayfarer, though it would be a nice feature enhancement if it did in the near future or some other script was written to allow this functionailty.

It was probably somekind of early version of Vimium web-browser keyboard extension that was incorporated in Firefox's Tools/Settings that I came across that I found quite useful, that has since been removed but that had similar functionality incorporated in it, that this extension now has and can be used with numerous browsers, sadly not Wayfarer as yet.

@ jacadcaps - do you mean Vimium web-browser keyboard extension could be added to Wayfarer by way of a script?

@DayWalker

I'm sure one could easily add this as a Wayfarer user script, too.

@NewSense - for FF you can use Vimium C extension, which gives you power to reach anything with keyboard easily.

I know this isn't relevant to Wayfarer but you mentioned FF so there is solution to that one.

@ jacadcaps - thanks for taking the trouble to reply to my query.

I seem to remember that Firefox used to have an option to 'turn on' that allowed you to move on a web page from one link to another using the Tab key, but of more recent releases that feature seems to have been removed, which I found very useful, and is now sadly missed.

Quote:

WebKit doesn't have a feature like that.

Thanks IKE and thanks to all those who donated to the project.

Keep up the good work! Donation sent!

Words can't describe how good this browser is. Wayfarer provides the best internet experience on amiga land ever imo :)

Btw, on Downloads tab, selecting an item which has been downloaded and user hits "DEL" key, shouldn't remove it from the list?

In case it is being currently downloading, a requester shouldn't pop up with a warning to confirm deleting since file is currently active?

Anyway, not a biggie, Wayfarer already has the best possible features a user could ask :)

Quote:

User script could probably do that.

@NewSense

Websites can completely disable tab presses as well as manage the order of selection (via "tabindex").

Browsers are not necessarily at fault if something does not work the way you might expect it would.

Based on a quick test and your description, Wayfarer appears to behave just like Firefox on MorphZone.

Is it do-able for Wayfarer to recognise 'Tab' keypresses so that it can go to each and every link, or selected page links on a webpage, instead of having to do almost every action with a mouse-click?

For example, on M-Zone's pages it only finds the Search Input box and Search 'action' button fairly near the top of the webpage, and then it heads far 'south' where it next finds the 'Quick Reply' text input box, and the Reply and Preview buttons, and then it 'exits' the page to the 'far north' to the Wayfarer browser buttons/menus, which seems quite limited in its usefulness.

Some browsers seem to have this option 'selectable' but even though I know Wayfarer is very limited, in not having a huge 'human-resource power' in so far as not having many people in the team to create and improve it, the few members of the Wayfarer's small development team have done a truly remarkable job with their time and efforts, and I am sure no-one that uses, and finds it so good at what it can do, would comment otherwise.

I'm still hoping that there will be a 'Back' and 'Forward' keypress implemented for Wayfarer in the near future, as that too would be very useful, well it would be for me.
