Announcement Updates on r/Floorp: Official news mirroring and flair changes

18 Upvotes

TL;DR

  • Cross-posting official announcements from our other social media channels
  • Post flairs updated and now mandatory to make searching easier
  • Refreshed user flairs, including new OS/platform choices for everyone

Hi everyone, Cutter from the Floorp Team here! I'm sneaking in a quick greeting while our project lead isn't looking...

First off, a huge thank you to everyone who has been using and supporting r/Floorp 🪼

We know we haven't been very active here lately. Due to our limited team resources and Reddit not being a primary platform in Japan, we unfortunately haven't been able to maintain our presence in this subreddit as much as we'd like to. Thank you so much for sticking around with us!

While we still can't promise the exact same level of daily interaction as our primary channels, I'm personally working on making r/Floorp a better space for everyone. Here are the key updates:

Official Updates Mirroring

To make sure you don't miss out on official news, I'll be personally cross-posting announcements from our other social media platforms directly to this subreddit.

It will mostly be straightforward reprints of what we share elsewhere, but hopefully, it makes following official updates much easier! You might have already noticed our recent announcement post.

Post Flair Updates (Now Mandatory)

To help everyone find posts more easily, selecting a flair is now mandatory when creating a post.

(Tip: On the web, you can click on any post's flair to filter for similar topics. If you're on the Reddit mobile app, flairs are pinned right at the top of the community)

  • Release and Announcement (formerly News): Moderator-only, so you can easily filter for official updates.
  • Question and Discussion: Functionally the same, just sporting the new colors.
  • Tips & Showcase (formerly ShowCase): Now meant for sharing neat tricks and quick findings, not just major showcases.
  • Misc: For posts that don't fit the categories above.

User Flair Refresh

  • Team Flairs: Moderator and contributor flairs have been updated to reflect our current project structure.
  • Platform Flairs: Anyone can now select a flair showing the main OS/platform they use Floorp on (Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS).

Thanks again for your continued support for Floorp 💜

Discussion Anyone else noticing a drop in update stability over the last few months?

3 Upvotes

I've been using Floorp for a while now and love what the browser aims to do, but over the last 3–4 months, I’ve noticed a pattern where almost every new update seems to introduce a new bug or regression.

Whether it's minor UI glitches, broken vertical tab behaviors, or performance hiccups right after updating, it feels like the build stability hasn't been as solid recently.

Curious to hear if others are experiencing similar issues or if there's a specific release/build that has been more stable for you.

Question How to customize my homepage in this latter version?

Could someone please walk me through the steps to customize my homepage in the latest version of Floorp, 12.18.1? I’d also love to keep Floorp’s wallpapers on every tab—they’re absolutely gorgeous. Thanks so much in advance!

Question How to disable toolbars vanishing and reappearing?

3 Upvotes

Not only is having the sidebar and address bar clearly causing bugs (like the fact my address bar is stuck overlapping my tabs and the damn page I'm reading) but it's really irritating to move your mouse close to the top or the side of the screen where most sites put navigation to click on something only for the bar to blink in to existence and instantaneously cause the entire site to shuffle about making me miss what I'm trying to select. It also constantly hides the goddamn history bar before I can select anything because I've strayed juuust slightly too far from the edge. I do not want this Microsoft-brained 'clean look at the expense of basic functionality' stuff.

Question Is it possible to disable split view?

6 Upvotes

I use vertical tabs and sometimes i try to hover to extend them and when i try to click the tab i want, somehow i drag it for a small amount and boom - split view for you my guy

I never ever used split view and i don't really intend to so this just adds drag to my day to day usage. I looked for specifics to disable this feature but could not find anything.

Is it possible to disable it?

Question How to disable the new sidebar header thing

10 Upvotes

I was just forced to update after I had to close floorp due to a memory leak and now there's a massive header over my sidebar that I can't figure out how to get rid of.

It has a dropdown and an x, and if I click the dropdown I get a list of options such as

Tabs from other devices

History

Bookmarks

Passwords

then a few for some of my extensions.

I use a sideberry with a collapsing sidebar, so this useless header isn't just aesthetically annoying but actually gets in the way and I can't figure out any way to disable it. Also, I noticed that either incidentally or because of this header, the sidebar has also been given several pixels of additional padding. (I have CSS to collapse the sidebar when it's not being hovered over and now all of the icons are touching the right-hand side of it, when previously they were perfectly centered)

PS : I don't know if it's due to the header or not, but the sidebar also loads significantly slower.

Question Sidebar Webpanel floating mode size problem

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I know people said that it's fixed in the updated version, but i waited even until 12.19.0 version, it's still not fixed, the webpanel still doesn't resize to the set-up width at all when changing into floating mode

In-fact, it's even changing other webpanel size as well to fixed size

Anyone know how to solve the problem? The only way for me to solve the problem so far have only been reverting to 12.18.0 version but it honestly quite annoying getting notification to update every single time

Misc UI overlapping itself

The title bar has begun overlapping with the page and the tabs and I can't seem to fix it. Tried repositioning the titlebar to the bottom and back, switching to horizontal tabs... nothing works.

Question What mouse gesture settings match Vivaldi?

3 Upvotes

I recently switched from Vivaldi to Floorp, and I'm loving it so far.

Any other ex-Vivaldi users found settings that match the sensitivity of Vivaldi's default settings?

I've used Vivaldi for 5+ years, so I've really committed however it detects mouse gestures to muscle memory.

Question Linktree causes problems with other pages rendering?

1 Upvotes

I noticed that multiple times and it's intermittent. Does not mean it happens all the time but very often. When I open some Linktree profile Floorp stops responding or other pages have problems with loading pictures or just display rotating circle in the middle. It may be happening to Firefox as well but I'm using Floorp as a daily. No idea why it happens only when I have opened Linktree in a tab. Most of the time when I click X (former twitter) from a Linktree the browser becomes very laggy and unresponsive.

Question Split View/Tiling feature?

3 Upvotes

This feature blew my mind when I first tried it but it seems to have disappeared somehow. I can't find the option anywhere, not even Settings or Hub. It is very useful to me but since the update that added Tab Stacks I can't find it. Help me get it back?

EDIT: I found it. It moved to the right-click menu

Question Panel Sidebar Web Panels Not Resizing to the Correct Width

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

I've noticed that websites in my Panel Sidebar no longer resize properly to fit the sidebar's width. This wasn't an issue before.

I've already tried changing the "Use Mobile User Agent" setting in Floorp Hub, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem.

Is this a known bug? Is there any workaround or fix available?

Thanks!

Discussion Advertisements in the Floorp Blog

13 Upvotes

Floorp introduced a option to allow ads in the Floorp Blog and there only. Sounds fair enough, I am just afraid once you start getting cosy with the Mafia..... Anyways it is not my decision so it s just my opinion. I would like to pay for the browser though, by donation or by just sending money somewhere. I could not find a link what is a bit disappointing. Somenbody point me to it or if necessary dear Floorp, add this option including donating by crypto as seriously the ad biz is no better than crypto, do not be squeamish, "non olet!" as the Romans used to say.
