The web browser of Sailfish OS is very old (Engine 3/2016 in 3.1.0.11, the actual stable release)

"Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Sailfish 3.0; Mobile; rv:45.0) Gecko/45.0 Firefox/45.0 SailfishBrowser/1.0"

More and more sites not working (without failures).

IMHO a modern web browser is one of the most importent apps because it is the only alternative for a lot of apps, that are not available for Sailfish OS.

Please add the web browser to the highest priorised apps.

It's a duplicate, but since this topic is timeless at Jolla I don't bother having one more reminder. Upvote!

It is most certainly a duplicate many times over, and should be closed as such. Another user who refuses to check before posting sigh

I know it is a duplicate but it seems, the other posts are forgotten.

I recognized the update from 38.0 to 45.0 with Sailfish OS 3.1, but that is not enough in 2019.

Then reopen/edit the last post on the subject!!, this is why subjects get diluted and votes become harder to collect, stop spreading the same crap all over the entire forum

Don't people realise they can edit existing posts???, jeeez, people it is not rocket science!

@Slartibartfass They are not forgotten. As evident from IRC meetings, Jolla has an internal roadmap on updating the browser, they just won't make this roadmap public. Having multiple posts on the issue is not going to push the process a one iota forward though.
