# Browse

Deeplinks make it easy for users to open web apps within Backpack. Users can scan a QR code with their phone's camera to open a page directly within Backpack's in-app browser. If a web app detects that a user is using a mobile device, it can prompt the user to open a specific page in Backpack's in-app browser.

The `browse` deeplink can be used before a Connect event takes place, as it does not require a `session` parameter.

`browse` deeplinks are not intended to be pasted into mobile web browsers. These deeplinks must either be handled by an app or clicked on by an end user.
