Browser Switchboard

Browser Switchboard (formerly browser-proxy) is a program which allows you to choose which browser to use as the default browser on Maemo devices. It supports MicroB, Tear, Fennec/Mobile Firefox, and Midori out of the box, and can also be used to launch MicroB without having browserd running.

Current Release

Version 3.0rc1 (2009/12/18) (Diablo package)

Version 3.0 (2009/12/23) (Diablo one-click install, EXPERIMENTAL Fremantle package)

Release candidate -- not (yet) a stable release
Add a control panel applet to help configure the UI
Reimplement the core D-Bus proxy in C to improve speed and memory footprint
Default to launching MicroB as the default browser if unconfigured -- if you were using Browser Switchboard to launch Tear, you need to explicitly set Tear as the default browser using the UI (or by configuring by hand)
EXPERIMENTAL Fremantle support (see download page for source and packages). BACK UP before installing, and let me know how it goes!

Version 2.2 (2009/12/14) (Diablo package)

Rename the package to browser-switchboard
Move the config file to /home/user/.config/browser-switchboard, and -fall back to the old location if no config file is found
If no config file is found and Tear isn't installed, launch MicroB; -this avoids breaking link opening on a system with a freshly installed -browser-switchboard package and Tear not installed
Package no longer depends on Tear; should make it easier for users of -other alternative browsers to use Browser Switchboard
substantial documentation update
