Re: browser does not support webgl

 

WebKit is rapidly becoming the standard for the internet, and I'm not sure
what quirks you're talking about. However, if they're developing their own
browser, then by definition it cannot be Firefox. If someone develops an
alternative browser, nothing will stop you from using it.

Right now, no one offers Firefox for mobile through the Ubuntu UI, so
making it even optional would prove to be extremely difficult.

Sincerely,
Josh
 Please don't tell me default web browser is webkit?
Won't Firefox be default, or at least have an option to install Firefox on
the Ubuntu-phone, like the desktop Ubuntu? I've had enough experiences
trying to track down weird webkit quirks that I would prefer not to use it
exclusively on a phone.

Best regards,
Luke

Hi,
Just tested the Web browser on WebGL ... no support.
Is there a reason for this?
I would say a basic feature for mobiles.

Thanks.
