Is there a better browser somewhere?

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.

@Bolly Just saw it today, so I will give it a try.

Oh wow this is really old, for clarity the latest artifact on the xmir-focal branch should be alright
here's for firefox 136: https://gitlab.com/debclick/uFirefox/-/jobs/9342376608/artifacts/browse/build/aarch64-linux-gnu/app/

Still the best browser for modern websites on UT.

I wouldn't call it the "best" given how the settings pages aren't convergent xd

[domubpkm]

No matter whatever the wobbly browsers for 20.04 we have. It is inexorable, 24.04 will arrive (very ?) soon ..
20.04 works very well (with a non fully functional browser) but is depreciated and we will have to take the big leap again.

@Fuseteam could you please give me a clue how to install uFirefox?
I downloaded several .click files from builds artifacts and tried to install them with OpenStore, but gives an error "the package could not be installed. Make sure it is a valid click package".
As well itried to install the from command line, but there are errors too
