First thanks for the new Sailfish WebView API. To make it a little more better here some of my experience with the new API. I added Sailfish WebView API as second machine to my browser app Ielig:Web last year in october.
- The new API is much better for all the new trendy features
- As in the example above in most case the text will presented enhanced but it is impossible to zoom out more then the starting size
- The Sailfish WebView API crashed randomly. This can happen direct with starting an url or some minutes later. In most case I can read some web pages before the crash. Crashes happens also when using the native mail client (using the same API?).
- I am not sure that there no remains in browser data after surfing e.g. this forum in the API private mode. To handle with this my app I will first delete the browser data directoy and then start an new session. There must be a better way. Can I now trust the private mode? Is there complete declaration of data stored after using the API?
- When switching javascript off (and this is my default setting) in the old API I can catch every embedded external url in a web page. The new API has also a signal which sounds like the signal in the old API for doing the trick. But in my test the new signal sleeps sometimes. Is there a new status?

I have some more nice-to-have ideas but the new API is great - when stable. Many thanks.
