      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™‚

                  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.

                      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 ? )

                        @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.

                        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 :).
