Anybody tried the einkbro browser for the mudita kompakt?

This browser seems really optimized for e-ink devices. Even the App Icon doesn´t look out of place :smiley:

maybe this could be a base for an mudita browser?

I probably won’t install it and I prefer not having it in Kompakt, too far off of the idea behind the phone. But good to know such browser could be sideloaded for those who need a browser as a tool for their job.

Yeah I will not be adding a browser , to me having a browser on the Kompakt beats the purpose of the phone

I don’t want an official Mudita browser, but I have sideloaded the Einkbro if I need to look anything up when I’m out and about. I’m not sure if I will keep it, though. It depends on whether I can manage to use it only when I really need to, or if I start using it to surf the web mindlessly.

Dry much the same view as others here. Looks like it might be good for those who want to side load one, but I don’t want a browser on this phone, an official one would completely defeat the purpose of the phone for me which is to reduce constant connectivity not increase it.

I know that an offical browser should be off the phone for many. I was spinning this thought in maybe future devices like an laptop/tablet.

How does it work/perform on the kompakt to thou how has sideloaded it?

I would probably “need” it for my work

Well I think it can be useful. I sometimes read long articles, short stories or even novels on the Internet, and I hate reading on my computer. I convert to epub, but it’s quite long and not always very pretty in the end. I think I’ll try einkbro (as it’s free and open source!) as soon as my Mudita Kompakt finds my mailbox :slight_smile:

It works just fine. It’s e-ink, so it doesn’t look that good when there’s a lot of images, colours, etc. But it’s smoother scrolling and less ghosting than I expected.

@tobi thank you for this. Don’t know if I would install it on my MK when it arrives but I’ve put it on my Boox Palma and it’s a joy for eink with reader mode, white background, etc.

I guess I will put it “testwise” on my supernote then :wink:

Yeah that would be my biggest concern sideloading anything, I don’t want an option to do something mindlessly when I am bored, I want to be bored, that is a skill we all need to learn
