I switched to primarily using qutebrowser, and I have enjoyed it so far. However, it seems like the Chrome version, even on the latest release, is pretty old, and there are places where sites/platforms I use daily are about to be not supported/not supported. Here's a list of a few examples:

  • Google Drive and products similar: about to be unsupported

  • Canvas: not supported
  • Banking Website: not supported
  • Website for work: not supported - "Your browser does not support modern CSS Selector. There are compatibility issues. Please use modern browsers (such as Chrome, Firefox, etc.)"

Is there any plan to replace qutebrowser with a newer version of Chrome? Thanks!

Chromium 87 is the highest Chromium available for Qt 5. There is work ongoing for Qt 6 support and you can already try it out, see #7202 - personally I'm running that with Chromium 102 and soon 108.

Something interesting: I ended up getting the error again after setting my user agent based on the Archwiki settings (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:68.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/68.0); however, setting the user agent to a newer version not only bypasses the problems which don't allow me to use certain websites but also get rid of the warnings telling me my browser will soon be unsupported 😆

Will also take a look on Ubuntu and see if I can reproduce such results; then I can main qutebrowser there as well.

If anything, set the user agent to a newer Chromium - setting it to Firefox will most likely just break other stuff. But anyways, I'd really recommend using Qt 6 instead.
