Hi there @IkelAtomig
You are one of the very early adopters, specially for the Windows version, so unfortunately it's not really tested on different systems.
Right now, we don't have .msi or .exe installer (yet) available, so there's a poor man installation script (install.bat) instead.
In theory, just executing install.bat should just work and install Browsers (but not setting it as default browser automatically).
You can also run x86_64\browsers.exe directly to just test if the application starts correctly, but it seems you already tried that.
Could you open a terminal or command prompt and run the .exe or .bat file in there? Is there any output you could copy here?
Could you also give some general specifications:
- Windows version
- How many screens you have? Are they in non-traditional layout? (e.g not side-by-side)
Thanks!
FYI: The powershell script notifies Windows, and the user, that hey, you can set Browsers as default browser now, but you can also do it manually in Windows settings, assuming Browsers got installed in the first place. The powershell script is called by the install.bat file.

I am using Windows 11 22H2 Enterprise (Build 22621.1848). This is a Single screen device.
While running the .bat :
While running powershell script :
And after that tried opening .exe but nothing even on clicking 'Run Anyway' in Windows Smartscreen.

@IkelAtomig thank you for feedback!
Did you try opening the .exe via terminal?
Could you also check if there any logs at C:\Users\Ikel\AppData\Local\software.Browsers\logs\

Nothing happened when I tried. It just went to the next line waiting for a newer command.

@IkelAtomig thank you for reporting back!
The installation script should be fixed now in 0.4.0.
What's wrong with the application itself, I'm not sure yet.
Could you try installing 0.4.0 and run the app through start menu.
Also, could you have Task Manager open on the side and see if Browsers process is actually exiting pretty immediately or stays running.
from browsers.

commented on July 2, 2024
This time it installed successfuly. I can't see any process in Task manager though. I think it closes immediately. I checked the Logs. It is the same as before. Nothing new.
Even setting it to Default browser and opening links doesn't do anything.

Unfortunately I have not managed to reproduce this myself.
Could you download the latest nightly at https://nightly.link/Browsers-software/browsers/workflows/ci/main/browsers-windows-artifacts.zip and run the .exe with these flags:
cmd /V /C 'set "BROWSERS_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG" && browsers.exe https://github.com --reload'
Thanks for sticking around!

Application does not work for me either, instantly crashes without appearing at all. I'm also on Windows 11 22H2 Pro, single screen. Tried running the latest installer from the website as well as the nightly build linked above.

I am no longer a windows user. Please don't mention me regarding this, unsubscribing from the issue and when tried to use it in Linux. I got an error message "Package conflict found". Fedora Workstation 38 KDE Plasma edition.

Hey. Sorry that you had shit experience with Browsers in both systems.
You could try the manual installation archive - browsers_linux.tar.gz file for Linux and execute the install.sh script.
For people who still have issues in Windows. Could you check in Windows Security if Windows reported any errors?
I created a new bug report on my discoveries #99
If you want to and get it working, feel free to report another bug for the Fedora installation package. Maybe someone can jump in with more rpm package experience and see if we can keep distro-agnostic rpms around.

I am really on to the rpm package if not, I am not testing it out. To be honest. It is fine that it didn't work out. It's a new app. So, yeah could expect stuff like this.
I really like Browser tamer - https://github.com/aloneguid/bt
I hope he had a port for Linux than on being windows alone. It is the ultimate tool. If you could. Possibly help that dev.
It is just best out of the box saying because I tried out a 4 to 5 of Browsers like App. I settled on Browser tamer. But sadly not on linux.
Might sound harsh - Maybe archive this repo and work with him.

For Windows security, It didn't show up something like that when I was there. I had controlled folder access ON. If it was something, It would have caught up my eyes.

I tried to open a Zoom Meeting link in Firefox. It should head to the default profile in firefox. But rather it tries to creates a new profile or use the default profile that is always present along with the default ones.
Kind of messy with FF profiles. Don't know about Brave.
I could help sorting this out in my freetime and in a separate issue. But not now. I wanna uninstall Browsers now. How do I do that ?

Totally understand you. Before I started out I gathered a list of alternatives, feel free to check if there's anything that suits you better: https://www.craft.me/s/Ej60taKaZaUzzX

Alright, thanks for letting me know!

Thanks. I wonder what's with the title bar appearing there. I hope there will be enough audience to test all the major distros one day.

I haven't seen such issue before. If you see it in future, please do report it.

Makes sense, we're all busy.
To uninstall Browsers you can download and execute this script: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Browsers-software/browsers/main/extra/linux/dist/uninstall.sh
In future releases, this will be part of the installation archive.
