    Hi everyone,

    in MGA10's repo the only useful webbrowser seems to be Firefox.

    I haven't installed "10" yet. I'm holding out
    I also hope it still includes Konqueror because that works with Aldi's recharge page

    Can this be done with Brave webbrowser also?

    You could check out the flatpak.

    Hi,

    Brave of Chromium as flatpak would probably work, but then you have to
    look here and there all time, if there are updates needed to install.

    At least one browser based on chromium engine should be included in the official repo. Then, any necessary update will be triggered automatically.

    My assumption now is, that Brave is the one browser with chromium engine,
    that can be included into MGA (10) repo with the lowest effort.

    Best regards,

    Markus

    Gee!! I so want to check this out with my SeaMonkey .... but I topped up
    my Aldimobile just yesterday so see no reason to re-do it today.

    Or did I actually have to use my FF to top-up??

    FF just hangs and hangs and hangs
    never returns from the recharge now button
