This option skips attempting any chrome IPC which even with the
`--new-window` does not open a new browser process. This is annoying
when trying to compare browser options as opening a new window with
the currently running chrome ignores any options passed to the new
ladybird invocation.
This adds a `--experimental-cpu-transforms` option to Ladybird and
WebContent (which defaults to false/off).
When enabled the AffineCommandExecutorCPU will be used to handle
painting transformed stacking contexts (i.e. stacking contexts where
the transform is something other than a simple translation). The regular
command executor will still handle the non-transformed cases.
This is hidden under a flag as the `AffineCommandExecutorCPU` is very
incomplete now. It missing support for clipping, text, and other basic
commands. Once most common commands have been implemented this flag
will be removed.
LibWeb will need to use unbuffered requests to support server-sent
events. Connection for such events remain open and the remote end sends
data as HTTP bodies at its leisure. The browser needs to be able to
handle this data as it arrives, as the request essentially never
finishes.
To support this, this make Protocol::Request operate in one of two
modes: buffered or unbuffered. The existing mechanism for setting up a
buffered request was a bit awkward; you had to set specific callbacks,
but be sure not to set some others, and then set a flag. The new
mechanism is to set the mode and the callbacks that the mode needs in
one API.
This is to avoid including any LibProtocol header in Objective-C source
files, which will cause a conflict between the Protocol namespace and a
@Protocol interface.
See Ladybird/AppKit/Application/ApplicationBridge.cpp for why this
conflict unfortunately cannot be worked around.
Now that the chrome process is a singleton on all platforms, we can
safely add a cache to the CookieJar to greatly speed up access. The way
this works is we read all cookies upfront from the database. As cookies
are updated by the web, we store a list of "dirty" cookies that need to
be flushed to the database. We do that synchronization every 30 seconds
and at shutdown.
There's plenty of room for improvement here, some of which is marked
with FIXMEs in the CookieJar.
Before these changes, in a SQL database populated with 300 cookies,
browsing to https://twinings.co.uk/ WebContent spent:
19,806ms waiting for a get-cookie response
505ms waiting for a set-cookie response
With these changes, it spends:
24ms waiting for a get-cookie response
15ms waiting for a set-cookie response
This shows the following actions:
* Reload Tab
* Duplicate Tab
* Move Tab
* Move to Start
* Move to End
* Close Tab
* Close Other Tabs
* Close Tabs to Left
* Close Tabs to Right
* Close Other Tabs
Rather than getting the tab name from the tab container. This resolves
an issue where ampersands were being introduced to the window title
when changing tabs.
The following command was used to clang-format these files:
clang-format-18 -i $(find . \
-not \( -path "./\.*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Base/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Build/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Toolchain/*" -prune \) \
-not \( -path "./Ports/*" -prune \) \
-type f -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.mm" -o -name "*.h")
There are a couple of weird cases where clang-format now thinks that a
pointer access in an initializer list, e.g. `m_member(ptr->foo)`, is a
lambda return statement, and it puts spaces around the `->`.
Previously the 'device independent pixels' (which consider scaling)
were used, and then scaling would be applied again when calculating the
screen width for CSS.
It previously resided in LibWebView to hide the details of launching a
singleton process. That functionality now lives in LibCore. By moving
this to Ladybird, we will be able to register the process with the task
manager.
Sometimes I like to play around with running Ladybird tests using full
blown Ladybird instead of just headless browser to interactively mess
around with the test page. One problem with this is that the internals
object is not exposed in this mode.
This commit supports this usecase by adding an option to specifically
expose the internals object without needing to run headless-browser
in test mode.
When launched with the new --enable-idl-tracing option, we now log
every call to web platform APIs declared via IDL, along with the
arguments passed.
This can be very helpful when trying to figure out what a site is
doing, especially if it's not doing what you'd expect.
When running with --log-all-js-exceptions, we will print the message
and backtrace for every single JS exception that is thrown, not just
the ones nobody caught.
This can sometimes be very helpful in debugging sites that swallow
important exceptions.
Before this change we had to keep session history on browser side to
calculate a url for back/forward/reload action.
Now, with a mature enough implementation of navigation algorithms from
the specification, there is no need to use
history on the browser side to calculate navigation URLs because:
- Traversable navigable owns session history that is aware of all
navigations, including those initiated by History API and Navigation
API
- TraversableNavigable::traverse_the_history_by_delta() uses
traversable's history to calculate the next URL based on delta, so
there is no need for UI to keep sesion history.
In the future, we will likely want to add a way to pull session history
from WebContent to make it browsable from the UI.
The previous name was extremely misleading, because the call is used for
pushing or replacing new session history entry on chrome side instead of
only changing URL.
Instead of treating reloading as a regular navigation by using
load_url(), now we invoke a navigable reloading algorithm implemented
from the spec.
Now both reloading triggered from UI and location.reload() will use the
same code path.
Currently the `<select>` dropdown IPC uses the option value attr to
find which option is selected. This won't work when options don't
have values or when multiple options have the same value. Also the
`SelectItem` contained so weird recursive structures that are
impossible to create with HTML. So I refactored `SelectItem` as a
variant, and gave the options a unique id. The id is send back to
`HTMLSelectElement` so it can find out exactly which option element
is selected.
This adds a button on the right side of the location bar to create a new
tab.
Ideally, we would actually use QTabWidget::setCornerWidget to put this
button in the tab bar. But it is surprisingly difficult to make that
look nice on all platforms. Even if we ignore macOS, the CSS to make the
button look right on KDE Plasma may not work well on Gnome. So for now,
this location next to the location bar is horizontally the same that it
would be in the tab bar at least.
We currently do this already when the last tab is closed via the ctrl-W
shortcut. Move the logic for this to BrowserWindow::close_tab so that we
also close the window when the tab is closed via its close button.
By default, Qt will grow the width of a tab button to fit the title text
of the tab. For long titles or file:// URLs, this looks rather bad. This
sets a min/max tab width to prevent such infinite growth.
To do this, we have to subclass both QTabWidget and QTabBar, because the
functions to be called/overridden are protected.
If the left-hand side of the tab is already occupied with an audio state
button, we would add a second button to the right-hand side. Prevent
that by checking if the occupant is our audio state button.
This implementation uses a really basic WebView to update stats once
a second. In the future it might make more sense to both move the
details into LibWebView, and to create a native widget for each platform
to remove the overhead of having an extra WebView.
