-1 here too. I don't see it as a good idea, but then, unless I just didn't notice, there haven't been any reasons given, which might make a difference I suppose. I do think fixing existing functionality would be much better spent effort though. Mark Stanton One small step for mankind... ___

I can see the point behind working with one or more of the open source browsers to better integrate libreoffice with the browser. I can even see the point of offering that browser as part of the download, but I am not convinced that writing yet another open source browser is a good idea. It seems a

Mmmh. What about extensions for existing browsers ? You talk about creating a browser without even a differenciation factor which makes the idea irrelevant. And I'm not even talking about the resources as some of you might have mentioned. But on the other side, browser extensions might actually

Hi Randolph, Unfortunately my first response is NO. The development might be for fun, but I didn't see a persuasive reason of why we need one browser in a office suite. IMHO, in that case we seem not to improve foreseeable usability, functionality or productivity to the suite, will we? Instead

Dear all, after some talks with some board members, the request rised to include more members and developers in the idea of adding a browser to Libreoffice. We know this needs time and work, but would not be impossible to add it to the installer and create a place to be for it, and see, how the com
