Is RUST a good choice for building web browsers?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Rustler

    Safe Rust bridge for creating Erlang NIF functions

  • webrender

    A GPU-based renderer for the web

  • Both Servo and Fifefox make use of webrender, which is an awesome piece of tech and is well suited to render a web page. Some GUI projects attempted to use webrender directly as well, like Azul and moxie-native

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • moxie-native

    A webrender-based UI framework with a moxie frontend

  • Both Servo and Fifefox make use of webrender, which is an awesome piece of tech and is well suited to render a web page. Some GUI projects attempted to use webrender directly as well, like Azul and moxie-native

  • Servo

    Servo, the embeddable, independent, memory-safe, modular, parallel web rendering engine

  • And there's a browser engine written in Rust as well, Servo - which was originally created by Mozilla, but it's independent now. Not a complete browser mind you.

  • Azul

    Desktop GUI Framework

  • Both Servo and Fifefox make use of webrender, which is an awesome piece of tech and is well suited to render a web page. Some GUI projects attempted to use webrender directly as well, like Azul and moxie-native

  • titanium

    A keyboard-driven web browser written in Rust

  • Maybe look at titanium, https://github.com/antoyo/titanium
