Why there is a browser inside a workspace
It is not trying to replace Chrome. It exists so that a link you find at 11am is still findable at 4pm.
Lodos Browser gives you full web browsing inside Lodos, with tabs, bookmarks and history, cross-module URL sharing and deep link support from other modules.
The reasonable first reaction is that you already have a browser. The point is not the browsing — it is where the result of the browsing ends up.
The link that survives the afternoon
A normal research session produces twenty tabs and no record. Tomorrow you remember there was a good article and you cannot find it, because it lived in a window you closed.
Cross-module URL sharing is the fix: a page you are looking at goes straight onto a task card, into a note or into a channel, without a copy-paste round trip through a chat message to yourself. The link lands where the work is, which is where you will look for it.
Deep links go the other way too
Links to Lodos content — a card, a file, a meeting — open inside the app rather than bouncing you out to a browser tab and back. On the desktop app this is what makes internal linking practical: you can reference a task in a note and clicking it does not lose your place.
It also means a link you share with a colleague behaves the same for them, regardless of what they have installed.
When to use your normal browser instead
Be honest about this rather than forcing it.
Use your own browser for anything involving your password manager, for sites where you are already signed in with a personal account, and for heavy web applications that expect their own extensions. The integrated browser is not competing there and pretending otherwise wastes your time.
Use Lodos Browser for research feeding into work — reading documentation, checking a competitor, pulling a reference into a card. That is the case it is built for, and the only one where the integration earns anything.
Questions people actually ask
Why not just use Chrome?
For most browsing, do. The integrated browser earns its place when the result of browsing needs to land somewhere in the workspace — a link onto a card, into a note, into a channel — without a copy-paste detour.
Do Lodos links open in the app or the browser?
In the desktop app they open inside the app rather than bouncing you to a browser tab, which is what makes referencing a task from a note practical.
Are my bookmarks shared with the team?
No. Bookmarks and history belong to your browsing, not to the workspace. Sharing is an explicit act — you push a URL to a card, a note or a channel.
