Try installing qutebrowser-qtwebengine. It shouldn't even try QtWebkit. That's deprecated. qtwebengine is basically Chromium.

In portrait mode, I only see the option to "Quit" or "Force QtWebKit backend" but when I switched to landscape it actually offers four options. I selected the "Turn off WebGL" and not the browser opened. Now I will just have to learn the keyboard shortcuts.(08-21-2020, 01:33 PM)klick Wrote: Thank you.

Thank you for your help!

Has anyone managed to install any Firefox plugins on their Pinephone?
I'm trying to install uMatrix, but when I click "Add to Firefox" on addons.mozilla.org, the only thing that happens is that the button changes to a small dot. If I hold the button and open the link in a new tab, I get "Firefox prevented this site from asking you to install software on your computer." Well thank you Firefox, but I would kinda like to install that software?

You could try downloading the plugin on a desktop PC and install it manually on the phone.

Yep, I'm sure it's solvable given enough effort, I'm just curious about other people's experience.

I have installed ublock origin and bitwarden without much effort, but their popups render very badly, making them hardly usable.
RE: Web browsing on Mobian - bitnick - 08-31-2020
Ok, thanks for the feedback. I wonder why it doesn't work for me...
BTW, uBlock Origin, wasn't that installed by default on your Mobian Firefox?
