Problems with Chromium or Browser on IFP

Modified on Fri, 3 Oct, 2025 at 10:41 AM

Issue:
Chromium and Browser are limited or lite versions of web browsers. They will have some feature limitations and there may be some websites they will not be able to render or load properly.

It is recommended that a more robust browser be loaded on the unit. Any third party browser of your choosing can be installed from a trusted source.

Instructions:

Download the .APK file of your desired browser. (ie: Mozilla Firefox)
Use the installation instructions below to install it onto your Viewboard.

* Note: An .apk file is a packaged install file like a .msi file for Windows or .dmg file for Mac.

Customers using myViewboard Manager can push it from the myViewboard Manager app library.
