Question Reddit broken?

3 Upvotes

Every single thread on reddit which has a video is not playing. Updated Floorp earlier today or yesterday, now nothing on Reddit plays video. Not even thumbnails are generating.

Edit: I'd like to add that not even image posts are loading. Images are just showing up black. I opened Reddit in Edge and everything loads fine.

Question Memory Leak????

Post image
6 Upvotes

I just opened floorp today and it's crashing every time, was working perfectly yesterday.

As of yesterday my tab count was probably into the thousands, but performance was perfect, and all of that while only using some (single digit) gigs of ram.

Any fix for this? My tabs are of extreme importance.

Question Sidebar Notifications?

1 Upvotes

It seems like Floorp is unable to show notifications on the sidebar items, which makes the sidebar significantly less useful.

I generally place all my messaging apps, like Google Messenger, Facebook Messenger, Watsapp, etc. in the sidebar, so that I can just glance, see if there is a message and continue working in the browser.

But unlike other browsers with sidebars, Floorp appears to only store a static favicon and never watches for changes.

Is there a way to fix this with a script (I doubt it), and if not, Floorp should really address this to make the sidebar more useful and in line with the expected behavior of sidebar items.

Downloads now offer v12.19.0, and we’ve halted new automatic update offers. Already-downloaded updates are unaffected. The PPA rollback is in progress. We’re sorry for the disruption.

NOTE: This applies to distribution channels managed by the Floorp Projects. Third-party downloads and updates may still offer v12.20.0.

Question Good Read Aloud?

1 Upvotes

Is there a good Read Aloud option that can be used with Floorp?

The native FF Read Aloud has terrible screeching sounds ar the end of each paragraph, in addition to the lame 1980s-like voices (on a Mac).

I am hoping for something like Edge's Read Aloud, and for free :)

Question Homepage Bug?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been using Floorp for... I wanna say 3 years? I love it, to me it fills every need i would get from a browser. I have noticed that over the last few weeks, my homepage has started to break little by little. Now I have no logos for any of the pinned sites.

even if i try to manually add an icon, it won't let me. I know it is a minor issue, but i usually go by either muscle memory or just the icon for the less used websites. does anyone else experiencing this? (like the right click menu that is going around right now, i have that as well).

I just want to know if there is something i can do on my side, and if anyone else also have this.

cheers!

Discussion Anyone else noticing a drop in update stability over the last few months?

7 Upvotes

I've been using Floorp for a while now and love what the browser aims to do, but over the last 3–4 months, I’ve noticed a pattern where almost every new update seems to introduce a new bug or regression.

Whether it's minor UI glitches, broken vertical tab behaviors, or performance hiccups right after updating, it feels like the build stability hasn't been as solid recently.

Curious to hear if others are experiencing similar issues or if there's a specific release/build that has been more stable for you.

Question How to disable toolbars vanishing and reappearing?

3 Upvotes

Not only is having the sidebar and address bar clearly causing bugs (like the fact my address bar is stuck overlapping my tabs and the damn page I'm reading) but it's really irritating to move your mouse close to the top or the side of the screen where most sites put navigation to click on something only for the bar to blink in to existence and instantaneously cause the entire site to shuffle about making me miss what I'm trying to select. It also constantly hides the goddamn history bar before I can select anything because I've strayed juuust slightly too far from the edge. I do not want this Microsoft-brained 'clean look at the expense of basic functionality' stuff.

Question Is it possible to disable split view?

7 Upvotes

I use vertical tabs and sometimes i try to hover to extend them and when i try to click the tab i want, somehow i drag it for a small amount and boom - split view for you my guy

I never ever used split view and i don't really intend to so this just adds drag to my day to day usage. I looked for specifics to disable this feature but could not find anything.

Is it possible to disable it?

Question How to disable the new sidebar header thing

11 Upvotes

I was just forced to update after I had to close floorp due to a memory leak and now there's a massive header over my sidebar that I can't figure out how to get rid of.

It has a dropdown and an x, and if I click the dropdown I get a list of options such as

Tabs from other devices

History

Bookmarks

Passwords

then a few for some of my extensions.

I use a sideberry with a collapsing sidebar, so this useless header isn't just aesthetically annoying but actually gets in the way and I can't figure out any way to disable it. Also, I noticed that either incidentally or because of this header, the sidebar has also been given several pixels of additional padding. (I have CSS to collapse the sidebar when it's not being hovered over and now all of the icons are touching the right-hand side of it, when previously they were perfectly centered)

PS : I don't know if it's due to the header or not, but the sidebar also loads significantly slower.
