Supporting single-page website generated using flutter

Open fengwang opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I noticed otter-browser (1.0.02) does not work with flutter generated website. For example, this one: http://fengwang.github.io/noise2atom/ However, Firefox/Chromium can correctly display this kind of webpage. If otter and chromium are using a same engine, this kind of web pages is supposed to be supported.

If otter and chromium are using a same engine, this kind of web pages is supposed to be supported.

That would depend on whether you're using the QtWebKit or QtWebEngine backend. So the short answer is that no, it's not using the same engine.

It also depends what you use where. If you built otter-browser on an "old" Linux distribution for example, you are getting an old version of Qt which also means you are getting and old version of QtWebEngine which is based on an even older version of Chromium. QtWebKit on the other hand seems like it just doesn't receive much in terms of updates. (there hasn't been a new release in almost exactly one year)

I assume you are using QtWebKit, because QtWebEngine is pretty compatible and I have never had a problem with it not loading a website.
