        Any chance it will be possible to create web apps based on Browser Next before OTA-5?

          @tomoqv Probably we need to test it, so yes. But no ETA right now. I dont even know the internals ob the web app container. But in theory it must be easy πŸ˜‰

              @doniks You cannot do this alone, it will be later registered as proper URL handler. Good point, currently UT misses user selectable default handlers πŸ™‚

                You cannot do this alone

                How dare you πŸ˜‰

                Of course I can.

                cd ~/.cache/url-dispatcher 
                sqlite3 urls-1.db
                .tables
                .headers on
                select * from configfiles;
                delete from configfiles where name='the/one/for/the/old/browser';
                

                Maybe I cannot go back, because I didn't take a backup, but that's another story.

                    sudo apt update && sudo apt install qml-module-qtwebengine

                    got it on my pro5
                    Subject to testing
                    Couldn't get it to install,before I increased my cache size, ( curious if that is what made the difference,or is it something you guys have changed since my last attempt ? )

                      @zubozrout yes, after the last OTA I have the browser running without reinstalling. Funny.

                      So it seems everything needed is there and the re-scanning after rebooting catches the app.

                      Strange, I had to do the apt command again after installing an update on my Fairphone 2.

                        @ingo strange indeed, I still have the new web browser running fine after several updates (on krillin).

                          @ingo Yup, the dependencies are still not in the images unfortunately so it may not survive OTA updates for some. But for me the browser still works and I only had to install the packages once :).
