FIXES

OSS repo changes http to https, after disabling http protocol in libcurl. Http protocol is default on openSUSE KDE Live CD.

When installing codecs with “opi codecs”, do not install openh264 repo, which links to external http server. If you have installed openh264 repo or your system software management is blocked:

sudo rm /etc/zypp/repos.d/openh264.repo
sudo sed -i ‘s/http/https/g’ /etc/zypp/repos.d/download.opensuse.org-oss.repo

SCREENSHOTS

Do you have any additional information about this point in particular, such as which browser you chose as the basis point, how you’re approaching updates, etc.? Given how important the web browser is to almost every user’s security, I imagine many folks (myself included) would want to know what is underpinning that browser before using it for personal/sensitive info - and I’m probably just not understanding something, but I don’t see where the code for a web browser is contained at the indicated GitHub repo GitHub - Neshama1/novaiweb: Browser for KDE based on MauiKit .

Just thinking that if you’re looking for others to try out what you’ve put together, some more specific information about what exactly they are downloading, and easier linkage to the source code / how to contribute (beyond monetary donations, which are very prominently featured) might get folks more eager to engage.

No c++ code, browser is based on QML, with a WebEngineView component (chromium engine).
