nyxt VS ladybird

If someone invents another browser, Nyxt will be ready to wrap it with Common Lisp: https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt

I can't reproduce the bug report on flatpak. Bug reports should be reported at https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/issues/new/choose.

For innovative new browsers, there's Nyxt: https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/

Both are looking for funding and sponsors.

good idea. I know there are some plans for this underway.... looks like just planning phase right now. https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/issues/3095

I am not a hopeful romantic, but the EU has been investing on vendor neutral web-browsers like Nyxt [0] and the UR Browser [1] through the Horizon Europe program. I doubt that legislators (at least in the EU) will view this as a positive development, assuming EU legislators know what they are doing. On the other hand, lobbying by big tech is still very much a threat.

There are some keyboard centered browsers like Qutebrowser or Nyxt. For Firefox as well as for Chrome based browsers there exist several extensions to implement vim-like keybindings.

Am I correct that this is not fixed until this issue is closed (I tried building from source the 3.3.0 release and master branch but both have the exact same issue)?

Go to the website -> Download -> Download for GNU/Linux -> Get Nyxt for GNU/Linux!

A browser is not a web app, it doesn't have a strict separation of "frontend" and "backend" in the same sense that a web app would have; the lines are drawn quite differently. The rendering engine is never "just" the rendering engine; you can't abstract or swap it without tremendous effort.

If you'd like to learn more about how a web browser project would organize its internal architecture, but are discouraged by the complexity of Chromium, Firefox, etc. I'd recommend source diving Ladybird (https://github.com/SerenityOS/ladybird), NetSurf (https://www.netsurf-browser.org/), or Dillo (https://www.dillo.org/).

I'd love to see a stable version of a brand new web browser, not based on Blink or Gecko, such as Ladybird or Flow Browser. Competition is a good thing.

note, native Windows is not currently supported:

Google is dominating, pushing through Android and via Googles-Webservices and Microsoft is using it now. A reason to worry because developing new web-engine requires an big effort. For instance Microsoft only allows usage of Microsoft Teams Web with a webbrowser based upon Blink. So were back in 2002?

WebKit features also WebKit2Gtk (Epiphany) and Qt5-webkit (Otter) with native integration. They use the native toolkits, which is an advantage! Interaction with the open-source community around WebKit seems rather good and the engine is integrated by others. Gecko seem not to be integrated by others, but by forks only? You remember when Chrome was considered slick and fast? Originally Google used the native toolkit on every platform but know they use an own solution on every platform, like Firefox.

Maybe there is a new kid on the block:

Funny you should ask: https://github.com/SerenityOS/ladybird

I've not heard of Ladybird before. True, it's a free and open browser engine and a very interesting project!
