Is that at all possible? If so, how?

Thing is, I'm a mushroom forager. I'd like to put together my own "mushroom book" with images and my notes. HTML is what I know so I'd prefer to be able to use that. I could put it on a server, but one doesn't always have good enough signal in the forest.

It's not possible to change an ordinary browser's permissions by editing its manifest file from a PC?

Oh my. If you find the right one, I'm willing to try it. biggrin.gif

The viewer I chose is open source. I don't find any information saying it's based on a known browser. So maybe not so useful for testing. I've only checked that it can read external CSS, but not how much CSS it supports. Will work for me even if it doesn't support the latest. I don't want fancy for my mushrooms, the simpler the better.

It is after all capable of reading pages on the web. If I click a link to a webpage it opens in the viewer. It's just there's no way to enter an URL directly, no address bar. Only an Browse icon that doesn't offer text input.
