Otter-browser on Ubuntu Unity8? 2015-08-26, 20:13:47 Would it be possible to package Otter browser via a click or snap package on the new Ubuntu unity8?I figure Otter browser is made with QT, and the new unity8 on Ubuntu has a QT/QML API. With minor modifications to Otter's UI even Ubuntu phones could be supported.It is an opportunity for Otter, because there is not a lot of competition yet on that platform, so otter could win the hearts of Ubuntu unity8/phone users. And trough them Otter would get some traction by positive marketing via word of mouth.Also unity8 and click/snap packages will soon become the default on Ubuntu anyways.

Admittedly, I quite enjoyed some user styles in Opera Mobile, even if they were very hard to configure on my phone and it was easiest to just copy from desktop.
