CEF browser question

[prothero at earthlearningsolutions.org]

Folks,
As I was working on and testing the browser widget, which seemed to fail when tested on my iPhone, I thought the problem was with the browser widget, but it turned out to be that I was trying to link to a web site that wouldn’t let me load it because I was using a vpn on my iPhone. The vpn wouldn’t let them load their tracker. Nasty.

So, I thought it was a browser problem and looked into using the CEF browser. Docs say it is no longer supported in LC9 versions, but I see the entry in the inclusions. Is there a reason this inclusion is relevant, or am I missing something?

Best,
Bill
