30% of Firefox users have ≤4 GB of RAM in 2023 - web browsers should be more lightweight and optimize RAM usage
Not so ancient - Otter uses QtWebKit 5.212 from Mar 10, 2020.
-
Browser engine in Otter
AFAIK, Otter Browser uses the latest QtWebkit-ng on Windows. It scores 341 points in HTML5Test. There is also an experimental Qt WebEngine backend.
-
Making a New Browser
The main backend for Otter Browser is QtWebkit Reloaded, last updated in 2020, see the screenshot.

Which browser is the best for my 10 year old PC?
As for Otter Browser, there is a bug in QtWebKit. Try using Otter Browser on Qt WebEngine.

Any WebKit browsers for windows 10?
Otter Browser is based on QtWebKit-NG, which is from 2020, so still relevant. That said, you can use the nightly WebKit build from Playwright: https://i.postimg.cc/Fz7FwRQW/Playwright.png
-
Which Embed Browser engine to use?
Lastly, the other webkit based project, QtWebkit. It is also very lightweight and fast, It also provides a cross-platform render and It has access to the system dialogs. The down side is that you will have to make a Qt App to use it. If you don't want to implement it, then you cannot use It

Qutebrowser v2.0.0 released (with better adblocker)
> I hate that it's based on Chromium though
There aren't really many alternatives. The main one is WebKitGTK, but that comes with its own set of issues (mostly performance/compatibility). You can use qutebrowser with QtWebKit as well, but I wouldn't recommend it - it's based on a 2018 WebKit with many known security issues: https://github.com/qtwebkit/qtwebkit/releases
I had hoped for Servo to fill that gap at some point, but so far that hasn't happened yet: https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/27579
Another possibility is for Geckoview to be ported to Desktop platforms some day: https://mozilla.github.io/geckoview/ - something the people behind Tridactyl would like to happen: https://tridactyl.xyz/ideas/#port-geckoview-to-x86_64
> and Qutebrowser privacy related settings also seem quite limited compared to Firefox... (and even compared to Chromium.)
Can you be more specific? Pretty much anything that's possible to expose (either via a QtWebEngine API or via Chromium commandline arguments) is exposed. Certain things (like deleting cookies belonging to a tab when it's closed) just aren't possible without implementing them in QtWebEngine first unfortunately.
FWIW there's an overview here: https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/issues/4045

Multiple distros considering removal of Chromium
and Qt has mostly moved to qtwebengine/blink. qt-webkit is sort-of-not-really maintained by very few volunteers. https://github.com/qtwebkit/qtwebkit/releases
-
[CENSORSHIP] Mozilla goes all-in on deplatforming
While you can still use it with QtWebKit instead, I wouldn't recommend doing so, as that's still based on a 2018 WebKit with no process isolation or sandboxing.

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)
