NetworkManager enable the new connectivity check feature by default.<br>
Some concerns were raised and the feature never landed. I'd like to<br>
reopen that discussion.<br>
<br>
In 2014, Fedora enabled that feature by default but they did it using<br>
a separate package. I really like this idea since it makes it very<br>
easy for users to opt in or out of the connectivity check if they<br>
choose.<br>
<br>
I am proposing that we create a similar package. I would like to have<br>
Ubuntu GNOME's metapackage recommend that config-connectivity package.<br>
In GNOME Shell, when a captive portal is detected, the network status<br>
icon changes to include a question mark and a login window pointed to<br>
the portal's login/authorization webpage appears. The login window is<br>
powered by webkit2gtk. This is very similar to the implementation by<br>
most other operating systems.<br>
<br>
Here's the Feature Freeze exception bug and merge proposal:<br>
