The main menu has an "Import and Export" submenu with an option to import passwords, but no option to export passwords which makes it pretty useless for moving data from one Epiphany instance to another. I reckon such a feature should be password protected, but not having it doesn't make much sense to me.

Epiphany's Reader mode should probably use [this CSS filter trick](https://css-tricks.com/a-complete-guide-to-dark-mode-on-the-web/#aa-dark-mode-images) (lower brightness, higher contrast?) when running in dark mode… at least when not hovered by the mouse and not just "scrolling over it" (but that would complexify the implementation; I'm fine with that not being part of it, and images simply having that filter applied statically as long as you're in dark mode).
For testing purposes, here are some examples of articles with multiple photos that show up in reader mode, most of which are high-key (bright) photography:

Example usecase: there are some websites that I would need to routinely access from a different/specific IP, and I would not want to switch my whole GNOME desktop to the SOCKS proxy / SSH tunnel just for that (especially as it may affect other apps and browser windows), so it would be really nice to be able to assign a web app to a particular proxy and be able to use it in this hybrid way.
I am told others have also requested this feature several times in the past.

As far as I know, Epiphany launches web apps in completely separate processes (and you can of course launch them without the main Epiphany browser being launched). This separation reportedly would make it reasonably easy to implement such a feature for Epiphany web apps.https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2139Replace "Reopen Closed Tab" with list of recently-closed tabs2023-09-07T18:26:31ZMichael CatanzaroReplace "Reopen Closed Tab" with list of recently-closed tabsThe "Reopen Closed Tab" feature is too naive.

* WebKitGTK version: 2.40.3
* Distributor: Droidian (Google Pixel 3aXL bonito - aarch64)
I am wondering if there is a way to "request the desktop version" of a site. I am trying to use Google Voice and if it detects it is on mobile it will not attempt to complete a call, but will try to forward it to a cell phone number. In other browsers, if I "open the desktop site" (and have the scaling such that it isn't detected to be "mobile") then it will make the call. So if Epiphany / Gnome WEB could request the desktop site it would solve this issue.
Thanks for considering, or for helping me understand how to do it if it is already possible.https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/2071feature: open link in native app2023-10-15T13:04:05Ztwofeature: open link in native appon safari this is in the context menu:

I specially mention reader mode because we won't have keybinding collision with web page itself keybinding.
overall maybe vi keybindings are more appropriate to be implemented using an extension, what is your opinion on this matter?https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/1938Suggested Feature2023-01-04T14:47:42ZGhost UserSuggested FeatureHi there.

Note that I don't need/want the free-form Exposé-like canvas with thumbnails (they look great in the demonstration video in the above Panorama link, but they are counterproductive in practice "at scale"); I don't want to be managing stuff _spatially_ because I have too much to fit on a screen anyway), I "just" want:
* Tab groups/workspaces in the form of _lists_, with the ability to search through them and switch between them as if these lists were workspaces.
* The ability for tabs from anything outside the currently shown tab workspace to automatically be "carbon frozen" (hidden and unloaded from memory/CPU) for performance and power savings. The Simple Tab Groups extension on Firefox allows me to do exactly that, which means that even if I have thousands of tabs spread across 70 groups, my browser typically uses less than 1 GB of RAM at any given time. It makes a night-and-day difference, otherwise even 24 GB of RAM wouldn't really be enough.
* The ability to select multiple tabs (#1126 which was moved to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libadwaita/-/issues/288) and to move/reassign them to another tab workspace (and suspend them to free the memory, as per above) for me to work with them later in that other context/workspace.
To me, this feature is an absolute must-have for my usage type nowadays, especially if you’re a [chaos warrior](https://fortintam.com/blog/workers-typology-the-goldsmith-and-the-chaos-warrior/) in terms of workflow. It's the only way I can stay sane with dozens of multi-month concurrent projects and hundreds (if not thousands) of tabs spread across those groups, and so it's one of the critical features that keeps me hooked to Firefox for my day-to-day use. I'm sure many GNOME users would enjoy having that sort of powerful workflow available to them in Epiphany.
Epiphany can do it better, by:
* Being built-in and better-integrated (it would have more control over the UI than a web extension, as seen/summarized [here](https://github.com/Drive4ik/simple-tab-groups/issues/952)), avoiding [plugin problems](https://pluginproblems.com).
* Offering better performance (ex: startup times, switching times, etc.). No need to generate/show/arrange thumbnails, I just want lists of tabs, not thumbnails (that's the first thing I turn off in STG for performance and UI compactness), and you can do search faster and better than what's been possible in STG.https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/-/issues/1765Smooth scrolling is inconsistent with other GTK apps2023-07-18T08:51:53ZeyelashSmooth scrolling is inconsistent with other GTK appsI'm using Epiphany 42 with a mouse with a physical scroll wheel with steps.

All other GTK apps (and also the Epiphany preferences) scroll by multiple pixels at once whenever I turn the wheel by one step which makes scrolling fast and responsive. The web view in Epiphany, however, tries to animate the scrolling which makes scrolling laggy and inconsistent with the rest of the desktop. Both Firefox and Chromium have a preference to make them behave the same as the rest of the desktop but Epiphany removed this preference in !884 and defaults now to smooth scrolling without an option to turn it off. Please reconsider turning off smooth scrolling for mouse wheels to make it consistent with other GTK apps or adding a preference for mouse wheels.
