amongGX provides a familiar browser navigation experience built on top of PyQt5’s QWebEngineView. Every control — from typing a URL to jumping back in history — is wired directly into Qt’s web engine.

​
The URL Bar

The URL bar is a QLineEdit widget embedded in the navigation toolbar. When you type a URL and press Enter, it fires the returnPressed signal, which is connected to the navigate_to_url method. 
self.urlbar = QLineEdit()
self.urlbar.returnPressed.connect(self.navigate_to_url)

​
Automatic Scheme Injection

You don’t need to type http:// every time. If the URL you enter has no scheme, navigate_to_url automatically prepends http:// before loading the page: 
def navigate_to_url(self):
    q = QUrl(self.urlbar.text())
    if q.scheme()=="":
        q.setScheme("http")
    self.browser.setUrl(q)
So typing example.com and pressing Enter loads http://example.com — no manual prefix required.

​
Back and Forward

The ⤶ (back) and ⤷ (forward) toolbar buttons let you step through your browsing history just like any standard browser. They call the built-in QWebEngineView history methods directly: 
back = QAction("⤶", self)
back.setStatusTip("Go Back")
back.triggered.connect(self.browser.back)

forw = QAction("⤷", self)
forw.setStatusTip("Go Forward")
forw.triggered.connect(self.browser.forward)
  • ⤶ calls browser.back() — navigates to the previous page in history.
  • ⤷ calls browser.forward() — navigates to the next page in history (only available after going back).

​
Reload

The ⟳ button reloads the current page by calling browser.reload(): 
rel = QAction("⟳", self)
rel.setStatusTip("Reload")
rel.triggered.connect(self.browser.reload)
Use this to refresh a page that has stalled, errored, or needs updated content.

​
The Home Button

Clicking Home in the toolbar always returns you to the official Among Us fan page hosted on Robowolf. The go_home method sets the browser URL directly: 
def go_home(self):
    self.browser.setUrl(QUrl("https://Among.robowolf.repl.co"))
The Home button’s status tip reads “Return to the Skeld” — a nod to the iconic Among Us map.

​
Automatic URL Bar Updates

The URL bar stays in sync with the browser automatically. Whenever the browser navigates — whether from a button click, a redirect, or an in-page link — the urlChanged signal fires and calls update_urlbar, which writes the new URL into the bar: 
self.browser.urlChanged.connect(self.update_urlbar)

def update_urlbar(self, q):
    self.urlbar.setText(q.toString())
The q argument is a QUrl object; q.toString() converts it to the plain string shown in the bar.

​
Automatic Title Updates

Whenever a page finishes loading, the loadFinished signal fires and calls update_title, which updates the window title to reflect the current page: 
self.browser.loadFinished.connect(self.update_title)

def update_title(self):
    title = self.browser.page().title()
    self.setWindowTitle(f"Among - {title}")
The window title always takes the form Among - <page title>, so you can identify the current page at a glance even when the URL bar is not visible.

​
Status Bar Hover Tips

The QStatusBar at the bottom of the window displays contextual help text whenever you hover over any toolbar button. This is powered entirely by Qt’s built-in status tip mechanism — each QAction registers its tip via setStatusTip(), and Qt routes it to the status bar automatically: 
self.status = QStatusBar()
self.setStatusBar(self.status)
For example, hovering over the Home button shows "Return to the Skeld" in the status bar. No extra event handling is needed beyond declaring setStatusTip() on each action.

​
A Typical Browse Session

1

Launch amongGX

The browser opens and automatically loads the home page at https://Among.robowolf.repl.co. The URL bar is populated via the urlChanged signal.
2

Type a URL

Click the URL bar, type a destination such as wikipedia.org, and press Enter. Because no scheme was provided, navigate_to_url prepends http:// and loads http://wikipedia.org.
3

Follow a link

Click any hyperlink on the page. The browser navigates and the URL bar updates automatically through update_urlbar.
4

Go back

Click ⤶ to return to the previous page (browser.back()). The URL bar reflects the previous address.
5

Go forward

Click ⤷ to move forward again (browser.forward()).
6

Reload

Click ⟳ to refresh the current page (browser.reload()).
7

Return home

Click Home to jump back to https://Among.robowolf.repl.co at any time via go_home().
