My default browser is Chrome, which on machines I've gotten lately is pre-installed. Either when I start it and paste in the local URL, or when I click the icon of a file in "ES File Explorer," Chrome displays local web pages such as
file:///storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.jsoftware.android.qtide/files/addons/docs/helpX/index.htm I've tried "boat browser" and confirmed that it does something that makes J use it, and so local web pages work when it is installed. However, Chrome, Dolphin and Firefox do not make the same changes. Other programs ask which app to use to view a local file until you set one of these as a default. This J does the same thing the first time a remote web page is viewed, but not locally. I haven't tried this version on older machines, but the previous version asked which browser to use for both local and remote URLs.
