Chromium-based browser dev - features?

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.

Creating your own browser (?)
I recommend to try making your own web browser, as long as it brings something new and innovative, not yet another Chromium/Electron clone. For example, I am working on Split Browser which is very lightweight, being made in Qt and including tiling panes and three web engines (WebKit, Ultralight and Edge WebView2). The development is very slow since I don't have much free time, but I am learning a lot of things by implementing them.

Will Epiphany ever improve?
Epiphany is not the only alternative web browser - there are: Konqueror based on KHTML, Otter Browser based on WebKit and my Split Browser (alpha) based on WebKit/Ultralight.
-
Midori Browser completely based on Gecko
Browsers engine diversity is a good thing, but I think WebKit would be a better choice than Gecko - it is more lightweight (see Otter Browser vs Firefox) and there is lack of a modern WebKit browser on Windows (apart from my Split Browser, still in infancy). Good luck!
