      @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.

                                  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 ? )

                                    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 :).
