standard browser

Ernst-Jan15

Hello all,

Is there a way to uninstall the morph browser or to make an other, ie UWolf, the standard browser?

@Ernst-Jan15 If you mean, opening links to other browsers then sadly no. At the moment, it's a bit random which browser will open in every boot of the device. The browser also need to provide a configuration to tell the system it can handle web links. I don't think browsers like uWolf has that.

You also can't uninstall Morph. You can delete (or rename) Morph's configuration to allow other browsers to handle web links.

Is not it ruled by the order of rows in the configfiles table of urls-1.db ? It's not changing by itself.

For fun, I tried to hack the urls table with instruction like:

 update urls set domainsuffix='nothing.org' where sourcefile != 27 and protocol='https' and length(domainsuffix)==0;

where 27 is the rowid of the morph browser qt6 for my phone. It worked, I could start the new fangled browser from a link. Restarting the phone did not revert to standard Morph for links. At the moment I don't know if it has bad consequences but I'd say that extending UT to allow for a browser choice can't be impossible.

Sadly you are right for browsers not prepared for that, Min did not start when I used its rowid instead of the Morph Qt6 one. Firefox and Chromium do not even expose http and https handlers. Maybe it could be hacked around but given that Min does not even start I could not be bothered to try.
