Revert to old browser on firmware 4.23.15505

NiMa · 08-19-2020, 08:28 AM

Hi,
I'm sure I've seen it before, but I spent all the evening yesterday trying to find what to do. There is the problem: I hate the new pop-up browser. Not only is it a waste of space, but also, you lose the controls ; say, you want to adjust the brightness and you're reading something online or doing something important. Well, you can't (unless you close the web browser, adjust the brightness, and fire up the web browser again -> losing all of your work not saved/tabs opened)!

I've seen something on NickelMenu a couple days ago, but I can't remember what. Also, could you help me on how to add that to the config file ? I add:

Code:

menu_item :browser :browser        :nickel_browser     :modal

(and know that maybe modal needs to be changed)
but I get nothing in the menu. Upgraded to the latest version.

Thanks for your answers!!!!

Try using "menu_item :browser :browser :nickel_browser :" (also add a quit item to the browser menu). You won't have an address bar, but it'll be fullscreen.
