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

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!

+ +

Getting Browser Switchboard

For Diablo/Maemo 4.1, the recommended way to install Browser +Switchboard is via the Maemo +Extras repository, +which is enabled by default in the Application Manager. +You should find Browser Switchboard in the Application Manager catalog under +the network category. Alternately, if you're viewing this page on your Diablo +device, opening the one-click install +will install the package from Maemo Extras for you.

Source code and packages can also be found on the Maemo Garage +download page.

+ +

For Fremantle/Maemo 5, EXPERIMENTAL packages and source code +can be found on the Maemo Garage +download page. +Packages can also be installed from the Maemo +extras-devel repository +(though don't blindly enable extras-devel and install/upgrade — see +the linked page first!)

+ +

Quick Start

For Diablo/Maemo 4.1, just open the +one-click install in a browser on +your device and follow the instructions to install Browser Switchboard.

For Fremantle/Maemo 5, or if you want to install the package by hand:

Download the binary package: browser-switchboard_X.Y-Z_all.deb +(where X.Y-Z is the version number, of course).
Install the package using the Application Manager.

+ +

Browser Switchboard control panel UI
+You can now select the default browser by using the Browser Switchboard +applet in the Control Panel. Links in most applications, locally-saved +web pages opened from the file manager, and (for Maemo 4.x) entries in +the Web sidebar panel will open in the browser that you select as the +default. If you don't configure a default browser, MicroB will continue +to be used as the default browser.

+ +

No matter which browser you select as the default, MicroB can always be +opened via the Web menu entry in the applications menu (for Maemo 4.x, +located in the Internet menu by default), or by running "browser" from +the shell. While MicroB is open, it will receive all links from other +applications; closing MicroB will restore your chosen default browser.

+ +

Some users have reported that a restart may be necessary to ensure that +Browser Switchboard is functioning. If you experience trouble after +installing the package, try rebooting your device first.

+ +

Documentation

See the +README +for further instructions on how to configure and use Browser Switchboard.

+ +

+

from a shell. You can also +browse the repository using gitweb.
