Odyssey 3.0 alpha has been available for several weeks but there are still very few bug reports on Github. I wonder why?! How can the developers 'polish' the program if people do not bother to report about issues...?

I thought they were going to release it first and then solicit bug reports?

I would guess because it's an alpha and the important bugs are obvious. When it gets to a beta stage, then reporting more nuanced problems would fall on the community.

Please, feel free to add any bugs in github. Just first check if anyone mentioned the same bug. It is useful to have them in a place and tackle one by one.

Can they report it from Odyssey itself? Github needs the latest browser engine to work or it works faulty if it works at all. Bit off putting if you can't post a report on the machine with the bug but instead need to stuff around taking pictures and logs to transfer to another computer.

One thing that I can say is that appart from the known issues it's
stable and I haven't had any issues.

One thing that I wonder about is something that happens with wayfarer too on some sites, that isn't a bug but it loads quickly, halts and sits there with 100% CPU-usage for quite some time (on some rare occation I waited for like 30 min and gave up) and I've seen that happen with some site here too but these aren't bugs so yeah, only bugs are the reported ones. It's really stable and works as expected, which must be considered being a very good thing.

Is it useful for you to get a list of sites that simply do not work with Odyssey? It is difficult to know what is the reason for each site...

I just tested with Odyssey 3.0 that log-in on Github and opening a new issue works... I did not try save the issue, though, as I have currently no new issues to report. But the old 1.23 cannot handle Github.

I'm also positively surprised how well the first alpha already works... There are some tasks which I can do only with Odyssey 3.0, as both Wayfarer and ALL the PPC Linux (32-bit) browsers fail with them!

Can you give an example of those sites, if the issue is regular?
