Hi,

I was wondering if you could use the kylo browser which is now open source and I believe utilizes firefox.. It could be worth getting in contact with them?

Good luck with it

Jin

Just thought I would add my two cents - an integrated web browser would be great! I have a number of other systems running on my LAN (VOIP, Home Automation & file servers) that I control via a web interface and so I have to run a standard browser alongside XBMC, but that gets confusing for the non-geeks in my family.

Any update on this project?

Peter

Since full-blown web pages are a pain even within Boxee's web browser, why not just force mobile sites to be displayed instead? Granted it may not be a perfect solution, but it would eliminate excess junk from being displayed and make navigation a bit easier for couch-surfers.

There is an addon for OpenELEC (which is XBMC on a super-tweaked Ubuntu derivative, the whole image just 110-160 MB in size) which implements the Opera web browser on XBMC. The full, current, desktop Opera browser. It is surprisingly stable & usable --- in fact, I would say that if it could be launched from within the context menu (taking selected filenames as search arguments) it would be the end of the search for an integrated browser. Though I am not a developer myself, I would think it makes more sense to perfect this addon rather than write a new, Webkit-based browser.
