I could add an option where the user can modify which key does what but… you’ll then say I don’t understand it or I can’t find it!

You just can't win...

There are no standards... each author does whatever they think is right. Prior to Windows we had a general consensus like... F1=Help, F10=Main Menu, etc, but that's all gone out the window now so...

Well you can make it any F key you want. Just make it one key not 2 simultaneous keys. All you need to do is then tell your users what the F key shortcuts do.

F11 is a Chromium standard.

Paphitis' next excuse as to why Opera is the best Browser:

No that's the best harbour, in the best city in the world.

there is no city in the world that can captivate you as much as Sydney would captivate you.

I'm not being biased either.

Well I'm already using F1..F6 for user macros (did you even discover those?), and F7...F12 are currently vacant.

Bottom line is... there is no right or wrong answer to these things Paphitis.

Nobody sets about to write a browser with the aim of toppling Google, or any other specific brand for that matter…

I think Sergei and Larry did set out to create a search engine that would topple the likes of Altavista and Yahoo but anyway.

but the idea is to write a browser that will hopefully over time, capture a market share large enough to attract sponsors, advertisers, royalties and the like. And that’s all there is to it.

And I do wish you all the best with that. Even if you never make a penny from such, if you enjoy doing it and learn from the process of doing it, I say go for it. I have said I have not and would not try your browser as it currently is, not to belittle you or your efforts but because it is just true. Given that I already have browsers that are 'good enough' for my needs, given that you are to me just an acquaintance and one I do not particularly like or trust and given that any risk is more than not bothering to try it at all and any effort to try it in a 'safe environment' is more effort than not trying it at all, I personally have not tried it. If you do get to the stage where you can get some kind of 'third party certification', something like this for example (https://www.websecurity.symantec.com/code-signing) then that may change the equation for me such that I am willing to give it a try. Where as just telling me I am stupid / paranoid / do not understand properly or as well as you - well that is not likely to change the 'equation' for me to be honest.

Hmm... applying filters to videos might be a good idea...

Imagione while watching a video you press [1] and it goes B&W, [2] and it goes Sepia, [3] it gets inverted, etc...

Can't you see that's just a scam?
