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

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

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

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

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

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

                          @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 .

                                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

                                      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.
