          @advocatux Funny. I had two OTA updates since I first installed the browser and it still works. That is click is obviously still there but I didn't have to reinstall the deb packages either. So maybe those dependencies landed in the system base already? ( haven't checked though)

            @marathon2422 Mhmm you could try to enlarge your root partition a bit by cloning this to your device: https://github.com/timsueberkrueb/plasma-phone-dev-setup. If I remember it right you have to adjust the size you want your root partition to have afterwards in usr/bin/resize-root-partition and execute it. Now the usual disclaimer should follow... πŸ˜‰ Thanks to @TimSueberkrueb for having this on his git account!

                @zubozrout for me the same. I do some OTA's and the browser is still working without reinstall the deb packages.

                    @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.

                            Home Assistant works with Browser Next, horray! However, I still get browser not supported by Google+.
                            There are some other issues too, such as that the browser appears to have no memory. I can set a bookmark in one session, but as soon as I restart the browser it is gone. Same with browsing history, it always opens with a new window and only the DuckDuckGo search tab open.
                            Also, while still mobile friendly, the UI is tinier than on the default web browser. Not a huge problem and sometimes an advantage I guess.

                            I will post some issues on github as I test it further.

                            Now, all I need is a way to utilize Browser Next in webapps and I will be all set.

                              @tomoqv Good to hear. Basically this is work in progress, so expect updates now and then. Earliest possible release is OTA-5.

                                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.

                                            @unisuperbox said in Install browser-ng for QtWebEngine goodness:

                                            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 ? )
