Public bug reported:

Using the latest stable image I can't login to WiFi hotspot systems any
more.

Captive WiFi hotspots redirect the webbrowser to a login page when
trying to do any http[s] request. The latest webbrowser-app seems to
ignore that redirect and just hangs trying to load the original URL.

Edit: I don't know exactly when it broke, but last time I tried was
before the Oxide switch and it used to work back then.
