      Is there any plan to update the Morph browser to some newer Chromium build, as currently it is on Chromium 65 and for the past 3 weeks my bank won't let me sign it to Internet banking due outdated browser.
      I'm on RC now, same situation. Tried create webapp, same story. Anyone with similar issue or it is just me?

      It's happening on all of my devices, N7, Pro 5, Op3t

        Yes, looks like qtwebengine was finally updated to a newer version and might land in dev after the release of Ota12.

          @poVoq I was kinda hoping for OTA-12. Any chance to upgrade manually? Maybe a .click to install?

            No, seems complicated. The problem really is that by now everything is quite dated in UT due to the 16.04 base system..

            I think the team is working hard to get to a newer version of qt, but until they manage to upgrade the base system to 20.04 it is a losing battle.

              @poVoq it's no dated, it's still supported by Canonical. Maybe after OTA-12 the devs find a time for browser as well. We'll see.

                We all are hoping that there will come a trick to install firefox (https://puri.sm/posts/desktop-firefox-in-your-pocket-with-the-librem-5/) or get an up-to-date browser very soon.

                Its tricky to use UBports in a daily world where everyone wants you to install their app (iOS or Android),
                if your workaround for this is to use the browser in desktop mode and then it tells you "your browser is not supported anymore" its quite annoying.... and really deal braking.

                    @magdesign It's probably possible to reactivate the FirefoxOS touch UI in desktop Firefox, but someone would need to get a version of Firefox working without Libertine (To have GPU support etc.). See:

                    Edit: Hmm seems like some useful functions were removed in FF65 😞
