Description

If you run UC Mini in Speed Mode (Android), the logo in the new header is filtered away.

Sorry for the bad screenshot, my device own screenshots is really shaky so old school screenshot is the thing that works:

If I turn of Speed Mode the logo is loaded. Turning it on again, I miss the logo.

I think not showing the image might actually be appropriate here but possibly it would be better to hide it here. @Nirzar what do you think?

can we hide it and show the text string?

There's several things going on here:

With speed mode enabled it seems:

  • UC Mini does not support SVGs.
  • Even when we revert to text/png the text/PNG shows but UC Mini doesn't seem to be capable of rendering the current HTML for the header and the search box still does not appear in the correct position.

Given the header works fine with "speed mode" disabled I'm tempted to decline this bug as there doesn't seem to be much we can do there without a UC browser developer. This seems to be a defect in their product not ours.

This is a defect(feature?) in the UC browser.

When using SVG:

When using text:

When using PNG:

All headers visibly broken in UC speed mode. All work fine with it disabled.

There's a lot of sites with broken logos/navigation in UC Mini (speed mode) but I guess people still use it. google.com works with logo, mobile.twitter.com too, but not so many more of the one I tested. I think the only long time solution to get UC/Opera mini right is to have a super simple version of Wikipedia.
