Is there a better browser somewhere?
-
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 .

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

@domubpkm well sure, but not every latest build is allright
https://gitlab.com/debclick/uFirefox/-/jobs/7676432640/artifacts/browse this should be pretty okOh 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/ -
uFirefox is still far from having an android-style mobile experience
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. -
@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 toophablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Downloads$ pkcon --allow-untrusted install-local firefox.fuseteam_142_arm64.click Installing files [=========================] Finished [=========================] Fatal error: No such file /home/phablet/Downloads/firefox.fuseteam_142_arm64.click, or unknown or unsupported content type phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~/Downloads$ sudo click install --all-users firefox.fuseteam_142_arm64.click --allow-unauthenticated [sudo] password for phablet: Cannot install firefox.fuseteam_142_arm64.click: Signature verification error: debsig: firefox.fuseteam_142_arm64.click does not appear to be a deb format package -

Somehow I really downloaded several files corrupted. Simple re-download helped.
