@rogue_ronin There is a new browser in development:
https://ubports.com/de/blog/ubports-blogs-nachrichten-1/post/ubuntu-touch-q-a-144-3931, but it`ll take a while..

Thank you! I will read up on it.

Install a browser in Waydroid:
Install Waydroid from the Waydroid helper app. Then inside the android container install fennec (Firefox) from F-Droid or a chromium APK. Just use the browser you just installed.
It is really straightforward to install.

Thank you, I will try! And also thank you for the context and background. I was puzzled when the Jade Browser also had the same font problems.

Much aloha!

Getting Chromium or UnGoogled Chromium would be fantastic.

It sounds more like these web sites just have problems, as QtWebengine, which is used in Morph/Sapot, is simply the Chromium engine, integrated into Qt.

Just seen today. More annoying yet : we can't see issues with morph or Sapot on gitlab ! Confirmed ?

kugiigi

@domubpkm Seems like it
I'm still in OTA-4 though.

domubpkm

@kugiigi yes. It's a shame that we can't even view UBports' gitlab repos anymore!

kugiigi

We need proper Wayland support for Libertine apps so we can maybe use Firefox

arubislander

@kugiigi the usability issues with Firefox currently don't really have anything to do with it running under XWayland/XMir (except the hardware acceleration).

ufirefox would be great if it has clipboard and content hub and all the integration, i am using it sometimes from the latest build that was 5 days ago

@uxes Where can I find ufirefox?

domubpkm

@sven https://gitlab.com/debclick/uFirefox/-/artifacts

uxes

@domubpkm well sure, but not every latest build is allright
https://gitlab.com/debclick/uFirefox/-/jobs/7676432640/artifacts/browse this should be pretty ok

Keneda

That would be so good (u)Firefox to become the main Ubuntu Touch browser...

sven

@uxes Thanks for the details. The linked version of uFirefox works impressively on my GS5 Pro.

domubpkm

@Keneda uFirefox is still far from having an android-style mobile experience, although the work must be commended. As the developer said on Gitlab, there are many gaps to fill : https://gitlab.com/debclick/uFirefox/-/issues/1 .

Hello all,

Another alternative has been born.
