Feature request: Drop Epiphany dependency for Flatpak version

Open TriVoxel opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

Having Web be a system package means the user cannot uninstall it. I for one prefer to use the nightly version because it tends to have better features. Others may prefer to use Firefox, Chrome, or something else. It doesn't make sense not being able to uninstall the browser.

How I'd do it, if Flatpaks can't be pushed with a new update, is to simply remove the app and bundle the Flatpak version with the ISO. Existing users likely already have a different browser (the one in the repo is old and slow), or will come across the Software search result to install the proper one. That way, users aren't forced to keep a browser they don't want.

you cannot bundle flatpaks with the ISO. This is a temporary workaround to allow the Chimera app to function. Eventually I want to make the Chimera app independent using Tauri or Electron or something like that.

Still, having a basic default web browser installed could be useful. Although I have found Epiphany quite lacking.
