        I'm curious, Alfred, why did you chose WebKit for your new browser instead of Gecko? In theory a firefox-like browser would be able to have addons (e.g. uBlock Origin).
        Or is there something that makes it impossible to do since all the repos of firefox.clickable projects I could find are abandoned?
        Lately I've tried daily-driving LineageOS on another phone because of the few apps I need, most importantly Firefox with uBlock. But having used only iPhones before UT I just can't deal with how unintuitiv Android is so I'm back with UT. It just needs a great native browser, not in Waydroid.

          Just curious: Any news about the brand new Brax3 device with Ubuntu Touch? It's almost ready to be shipped (March 2024).

          There's a tread here, last updated in December 2024: https://forums.ubports.com/topic/10607/brax3-the-mysterious?_=1739970888773

          Thank you very much! Cheers!

            Can you add multi-language support to ubports-installer?
            Some of us like ubuntu touch but can't read English.

              Someone else is supposed to ask this but in case they forget πŸ˜„

              5G is already working on the Fairphone 5 Focal devel channel. Can we expect 5G on other devices too like the Fairphone 4 or will it have to wait until Noble? Thanks.

                Good evening and 1,000 thanks for all your hard work on behalf of the community.
                I was wondering what alternative to use under UBT to replace Google Calendar? (Phase by phase, I'm firing the google tools still present in my environment)
                Best regards.

                  @Vlad-Nirky Adding a NextCloud account in Settings -> Accounts should give you the option of syncing a calendar. I have never used it though, so I do not know how well it works. But the option is there, so it is meant work.

                    @Vlad-Nirky I'm using the calendar of my E-Mail-Provider (posteo) and it's working like expected with caldav.

                        Hello together,
                        are there any progress in the possibility to use assisted gps, to have a quicker fix? Sometimes it takes a lot of time to get a fix. And often if you have no time at all, you have to reboot the phone and wait 20min to get the fix.
                        So agps would be a big improvement.

                        best regards

                          -my personal opinion-
                          why not take an extension with your internet browser example with firefox "TWP-translate web pages" or the translator which is integrated.

                              Hello,

                              I would like to know if the "limitation" of QML for app development is based on technical reasons or simply a lack of manpower to have support for other toolkits? Or is it a matter of integration?

                              Best regards and thanks for your work.

                                @UBportsNews Dear @fredldotme,
                                would it be a lot of trouble to add copy and paste functions to Mimi Browser? Because if you can't open pages with Morph and they have long complicated urls, unfortunately you can't copy them into Mimi Browser - which might be able to open them. - Thank you!
