Any plans on @Emdek involvement (or anyone else from the project), or has it never been discussed before?

Doesn’t help, still downloads things to /tmp. If downloading via ’Save as…’ then it produces an invalid file. Isn’t there a way to disable portals altogether? Maybe by unsetting the Qt platform variable?

That is moving in the wrong direction, portals should be used or fixed if there are problems. Disabling them would just be a bad workaround.

Or it should be patched to properly download files where they belong;

No, it hasn’t been discussed before, I just went and done it :P |

So does it use webengine or webkit?

Can do both, you can choose, but WebEngine is more experimental.

Disabling sandboxing sounds worse than not having qtwebengine enabled at all.

Well it doesn’t run in Flatpak and we have Bubblewrap anyway, I don’t see a problem with this, I took this from existing Flathub manifests.

@barthalion Revived QtWebKit is quite capable. No QtWebEngine isn't bad at all really. ;-)

I dunno, keep sandbox disabled or disable WebEngine?

This was discussed briefly on IRC and since Otter does not yet have a stable release we will wait to add this to Flathub. I also hope by time it hits "stable" that QtWebEngine support will be considered stable also. |

Stable now available: https://thedndsanctuary.eu/index.php?topic=3574.0 However, QtWebEngine is still considered experimental. |

Otter Browser aims to recreate the best aspects of the classic Opera (12.x) UI using Qt5.
Easily the easiest Flatpak I’ve ever created. Kudos, @Emdek!
