Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

OBS 25 supports the obs-browser plugin. Sadly, this is not an independently 
buildable module, and needs to
be built as part of building the rest of OBS. I have had some conversations 
with the developers on this 
on the OBS discord and they confirmed this is by design and won't change. It is 
designed to be linked into
the source tree at OBS build time and built that way. It is separated for 
development reasons only.

The legacy obs-linux-browser plugin has retired in favour of the official 
plugin.

Therefore, at present, I have to build my own packages of OBS to use the 
browser plugin. Many new features
of OBS are likely to be dependent on the OBS browser plugin in future (as is 
already seen in the Windows
version).

I realize this feature relies on the Chrome Embedded Framework to work, so it 
may be challenging? Is there
debian policy on CEF? It seems many "browsery" features of other products use 
this strategy these days
rather than deal with the hideous mess that is modern browser standards.

I hope that the official debian can somehow figure out a way to fix this.

Thanks,
Christian
