Hi,
Currently I'm not using the uBrowser. It's jQuery is cool and everything, but hey... I just don't need it 
Why is this module part of the Core installation (i.e. Store is dependent on it)?
Why uBrowser is required for Core?

I ask myself that same question every now and then... the basic answer is I made it a dependency for store so other modules could use it without having to worry about it not being there. When manually creating orders, it is the default product browser to find products. It lets you view products by category, search, double click, etc.
However, several versions ago I made a way to find products without it and I wonder if it's one dependency that could be removed... I think it's used elsewhere, though, like on some product admin pages.
Basically, it and TAPIr both need some loving before the 1.0. 
That's a thing that bothers me too.
Before you can start you'll have to install so many other modules, things you will never use on your own but some form in the ubercart may be.
I haven'thad the chance to investigate it all which ones are needed, but I would certainly like the module a lot more if it didn't depend on so many module.
I use taxonomy_menu, I won't even try to use the uBrowser cause I fear for problems...
Well, uBrowser works fine actually. And it's quite handy, letting you browse a vocabulary like a file tree. It was just an early module of mine and included on the add product section of order edit pages to make it easier to find the right product. Since then I implemented my own search in a custom product find box, and that turned out to be quite handy. I wouldn't be scared of using it, though.
Ubrowser is just awesome in administration order edit system. To easily and quickly find a product.
Have to be in core .
@zmove, awesome as it is (and it is), core should be about what is required, not necessarily what is easier.
In one site I intend to use it, but the other - well, I just don't need it.
Anyway, no rush about this issue
I am all in favor of either adding this to core or finding another way to do this so we can remove this dependency. I really have no need to use this module and I would love to remove some of my module bloat.
Can we find a way to remove uBrowser from the dependency list?
We're planning on getting rid of uBrowser for Ubercart 2.0. That'll be the version for Drupal 6.
As I understand uBrowser was not going to be anymore beginning on version 2.x for Drupal 6.x. I have been getting the following error thought just after I have configure everything in the store and when I goto into clicking on Products I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function ubrowser() in C:\xampp\htdocs\sunsatelliteconnection.com\sites\all\modules\ubercart\uc_product\uc_product.module on line 1804
I'm getting the same thing, FYI. So goes the life of a dev-status tester.
Don't click it for now. I'll bug Lyle about it to take that call out... if I remember right, that page wasn't very useful anyways.
