General usability (of this forum) with SFOS browser

Edit: I’m tired and didn’t notice the topic this was posted into. I assumed it was general feedback about the browser

Personally, my biggest pain points with the browser are the following (ordered from most annoying to least):

  • The address bar overlays accept buttons on GDPR popups
    • More general: the address bar overlays elements with position: fixed set. It would be nice if elements styled with position: fixed; bottom: 0 would touch the top of the address bar if visible or the bottom of the window if the address bar is invisible.
  • Browser crashes after a while when browsing on sites with many images, like image boards, after browsing it for a while
  • Zooming out too much will blank the page until it is reloaded
  • Not being up to date with recents web standards
    • Recently I needed to fill in a Captcha for archive.is (probably due to CloudFlare) (and I already dislike Captcha’s) but it was impossible because half of the images were offscreen.

This one isn’t the fault of the browser, but it really bothered me today:

  • A forum (https://www.ps2-home.com/forum/) has blocked me solely for using an uncommon user agent string. Because they wanted to block bots and scrapers.
    • Surely people with malicious intents will give up after their malicious bot with the user agent “Mozzarella/6.0 (NotEvilEdition;Unlicensed) LammerBot/42.0” got blocked by their website.
