New icons and by swiping to the left go go back and swiping to the right you go forth navigationbackforth

Thanks for suggestion, let's see what Jaakko/Vesku thinks.

This should be relatively simple to implement. Only problem/issue/challenge that I can see is matching drag start to press delay threshold. Only feasible place this could be done is exactly on top of the toolbar so that we don't need to add extra round trips from browser ui to gecko and back.

jrutila commented 10 years ago

Shouldn't those back and forth be other way round. Everywhere else in SailfishOS user goes back by flicking the screen to the right.

veskuh commented 10 years ago

This is an interesting idea. We should prototype how this works in practice, since getting the gestures right is important.

Probably having the gestures other way around would be good as then the back is same gesture as elsewhere in the OS. The icon could still be this way around and transition effect on toolbar something similiar than the active covers of the app has.

rarous commented 10 years ago

Yes, please. I'm always trying go back with gesture first. I undestand that i can be tricky because custom gestures (touch events) should be supported inside web pages. The cover like idea sounds good.

kelteseth commented 10 years ago

How about we let the user decide? We could add an option for navigation.

ghost commented 10 years ago

The suggestion sound like a good idea to me.

However add an option "for user to decide" is not a good idea the more options the more stuff to test and also more code. If this is implemented, then it should be so good that there is a need for alternatives.

Options for everything is bad. Sometimes apps has a tendency to have one million settings and make end users frustrater/confused. I see this in many desktop linux apps or even windows. jolla-browser should be simple and easy to use. The less options the better.

I agree with mike7b4.
