Version 0.3 works pretty well on text only sites that I tested. The Haiku homepage, shows an array out of bounds in the terminal.

Version 0.4 has been released. It fixes issues on Haiku, the handling of mouse events was significantly improved.
Otherwise the release provides a general solution to Cloudflare challenges and other gatekeepers. More details in the blog post.

I was playing with the latest version 0.4 of both Fixproxy and Fix browser and they appear to be progressing nicely.

Unless I haven’t been paying attention, is there a plan to offer a hpkg for this?
I think it will make sense to provide it for beta versions, but for now the .zip is sufficient I would say.

You do know that you can offer up a *.hpkg and host it without the requirement of making it available on HaikuDepot right?

Yeah I know, do you ask for .hpkg for any specific reason? Something that the current .zip can’t provide for now?
I would need to add more features before it would make sense. Like coming up with an icon (my attempts at creating an icon failed so far), a replicant in the systray for autolaunching and configuring FixProxy (but I don’t think this requires .hpkg either).
Need to decide where to put the fix scripts, they’re intended to be editable by the user. In the future there will be a system for automatic updates of the scripts and they will be most likely compressed using a custom format (by having a “solid” archive but still allowing random access). So it would need to reside in the home directory, with an ability to extract the contents so that users can edit them. In the alpha versions it’s just part of the release (but easily editable).
These are all features that I plan for beta versions, when the browser will be usable for actual browsing. Then it will make sense to provide the native packages and Windows installer.
Sounds like you have a plan.
