useNewWebBrowser parameter in Palettes.add

[JeromeBriot]

Hello,

The documentation says about the useNewWebBrowser parameter:

---

Specifies true to use new browser in the palette. This is false by default to support existing clients. Support for old browser is deprecated and will be taken out soon.

We are using QtWebBrowser as new web browser for palette. Previously we were using Chromium on Windows and Mac OSX WebKit on Mac. Let us know If you notice any issue while using new browser. Thanks.

@goyals, can you give us more information about this? What are the benefits of the new browser?

Thanks

The major benefit of new browser is consistency and better performance. Previously we were using two different web kits one for Windows and other for Mac so using same web kit i.e QTBrowser will give consistent behavior. We also noticed the web page loads faster in new browser and it supports frameworks like react. 

May be you can try to run this text command devoptions.webdeveloperextras /on in Fusion text command window or setting this environment variable NEUTRON_WEB_DEVELOPER_EXTRAS as workaround to start the dev tools from palette. 

I will create a ticket to look into this issue. Thanks.
