I programmed own Web browser in C++ it is only 78 megabytes!
Contratulations! I was also working on Qt Ultralight Browser based on Ultralight. Unfortunately it does not support many modern Web APIs.
-
Chromium-based browser dev - features?
If you think most Chromium-based browsers are bloated, you're right. Try some lightweight alternatives: Pale Moon, Otter Browser, MetaDock or my pre-alpha Qt Ultralight Browser.
-
Is there an up-to-date open source browser that uses the webkit engine for windows?
Have a look at my Qt Ultralight Browser. Sadly it is still work in progress and I am open for contributions.
-
How difficult it is to build a browser kernel ?
Yeah, that's why I am making a web browser based on it called Qt Ultralight Browser. Contributions are welcome!
-
Is there any browser that has that old interface (~90s, ~2000s, for example), that can be use nowadays?
I am also working on Qt Ultralight Browser with a classic chrome, stay tuned.
-
New browsers
There are: Flow Browser, Stack Browser, Nux, Holla, MicroWeb, Puppy Browser and my Qt Ultralight Browser (WIP).
-
So... i made a DuckDuckGo browser... (you can ask me how to do it in the comments)
If you want to make something more ambitious than the 100th Chrome clone, try basing on something different than Chromium, like my Qt Ultralight Browser (WIP) based on Ultralight.
-
Any WebKit browsers for windows 10?
Apart from Otter Browser, there is Playwright with a recent WebKit mini browser and my Qt Ultralight Browser based on Ultralight (which also have a browser sample in their repo).
- I am making an ultra-lightweight web browser for desktop using Qt and Ultralight, the homepage uses only 68 MB of RAM, I am looking for contributors. (/r/browsers)

Arc browser launches its Windows client in beta
Web rendering would be Blink, with V8 being the JavaScript engine. I believe they have their own UI rendering process.
I know of another company that does something similar for the UI process, but with WebKit instead as the base:

Ode to the M1
What I'd really like to see with CEF et al, is JS being dropped, in favor of directly controlling the DOM from the host language. Then we could, for example, write a Rust (or Kotlin, Zig, Haskell, etc) desktop application that simply directly manipulated the DOM, and had it rendered by a HTML+CSS layout engine. Folks could then write a React-like framework for that language (to help render & re-render the DOM in an elegant way).
Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht/) looks pretty cool. I think another possible option is Servo (https://github.com/servo/servo) – it was abandoned by Mozilla along with Rust during their layoffs a while back (but the project still seems to have a decent bit of activity). It would be great if some group of devs could revive the project, or a company could fund such a revival.
Eventually, we'll need to reflect on, and explore whether HTML+CSS is really the best way to do layout, and we could maybe perhaps consider proting the Android/iOS layout approach over to desktop.

Anselm's Jazz Distributed Infrastructure Framework
I'm curious if the project will be open-source or do you have plans to go the Awesomium/Ultralight route with both open/closed sources and volume licenses? Or do you plan to offer commercial support services like other open source software?

Best cross-platform (Win, Mac, Linux) desktop frameworks?
I’m not tied to any language, but it needs to be able to wrap a c++ library. I started with .NET 7 MAUI - no linux support & very mobile focused. Tried out Electron. Wins on ease and usability, but has massive overhead. (Basic “Hello world” executable compiled to over 200mb) I then discovered Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht/). Big win on size, but was last updated 3 years ago.

Remember when this was 0% and 70 mb? This is comical.
tauri exists or if you wanted to ultralig.ht

Digital Audio Workstation Front End Development Struggles
I agree web stuff is really the best way to develop UIs. Good luck making responsive stuff in C++ for example. The paradigm of HTML, CSS, and JS is extremely powerful and even allows you to use canvas, webgpu, wasm.
There are multiple commercial projects that use web dev paradigm for GUIs:
