- Replace pywebview with system browser fallback to avoid GTK/Qt dependency issues - Add browser_simple.py with webbrowser module as primary solution - Update main.py to use simplified browser implementation - Configure OpenAI providers in config.py for better compatibility Resolves issues with: - ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi' (GTK backend) - QApplication import errors (Qt backend) - QtWebKitWidgets missing module errors - WebViewException: You must have either QT or GTK with Python extensions The application now opens VNC URLs in the system's default browser instead of requiring complex GUI library dependencies in the virtual environment.

Sorry, something went wrong.
- Check return value of webbrowser.open() for success/failure - Properly trigger fallback browser logic when system browser fails - Raise exception when webbrowser.open() returns False to ensure fallback execution - Improve error handling and user feedback Fixes issue where webbrowser.open() would return False (failure) but not raise an exception, causing the fallback browser logic to be skipped and leaving users without a working browser connection.
