    A fast, minimal browser that protects your privacy

  • browsh

    A fully-modern text-based browser, rendering to TTY and browsers

    • FWIW, I love Lynx on my Mac, especially for ad-heavy websites. I miss the "in browser" services that brow.sh [1] used to provide.

  • SurveyJS

    Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.

  • Waterfox

    The official Waterfox 💧 source code repository

    • There is also WaterFox, which I quite like as a secondary browser.

  • ladybird

    Discontinued The Ladybird web browser

    • 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/).

  • rose

    Discontinued Minimalist browser based on webkit2.

    • Recently I've been playing with Rose, which is a small GTK+Webkit project that I've found really nice to hack on [1]. Src: <https://github.com/mini-rose/rose>

    [1]. And I'm in fact typing this from within it.

  • Firefox-UI-Fix

    🦊 I respect proton UI and aim to improve it.

    • Firefox's design is more custom than you think.
