  • ladybird

    Truly independent web browser

    I think they were referring to the version of Ladybird taking advantage of Swift v6. I agree in part that it is only nice idea until a production ready binary gets released; right now it is just experimental.

    That said, it may not be far off at all: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/issues/933

  • verso

    A web browser that plays old world blues to build new world hope

    I'd hypothesize it's due to https://github.com/versotile-org/verso/blob/07a88a86347c6763... and I thought maybe that was the lowest GH offered since they used an actual number versus "-latest" but no, GH does offer 12 https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-github-hosted-runne...

    Since they already went to the trouble of writing the GHA, I just downgraded and gave it a whirl and it both completed and the resulting artifact launched a-ok on my 12.7.6 x86_64: https://github.com/mdaniel/verso/actions/runs/10341237698/jo...

    I'm posting this reply from that build, although I had to compose the answer over in FF because the textarea doesn't scroll :-D

  • Servo

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

    1. The repository README doesn't explain what Servo is. From its own repo README:

    https://github.com/servo/servo

    "Servo is a prototype web browser engine written in the Rust language. It is currently developed on 64-bit macOS, 64-bit Linux, 64-bit Windows, and Android."

    So, this browser seems to be about using Rust, and somewhat Mac-centric. Not criticizing, just emphasizing.

    ------------------------------------------

    2. The repository does not explain:

    * How far along the project is.

    * What are the benefits / points of attraction of the browser (or - perhaps it's more of a proof-of-concept?)

    ------------------------------------------

    3. The project has a highly repressive Code of Conduct:

    * Forbidden behavior is open-ended and at the discretion of whoever handles a complaint.

    * No due process: Anonymous complaints, in-abstentia proceedings, no right to face accuser, no right to access and review evidence, etc.

    * The project leaders/owners presume to forbid community members from interacting with people whom project leaders decided to ban. This is a bit like how when the US sanctions a state, it also strong-arms everybody else to observe its sanctions or themselves get sanctioned by the US.

    Bottom line: I would avoid getting close to that project, if the CoC is actually applied. If it isn't - very much recommend removing it.

  • cxx-qt-servo-webview

    Servo WebView for Qt using CXX-Qt

    There is Servo webview for Qt, so it should be possible to replace QtWebEngine with https://github.com/KDABLabs/cxx-qt-servo-webview.

  • Ultralight

    Lightweight, high-performance HTML renderer for game and app developers.

    All mainstream web browsers are bloated and use a lot of resources. I am looking for a tiny lightweight web browser with good HTML5 support but without bloat for older computers. Servo, Ladybird and Ultralight (https://ultralig.ht) are promising. I even started developing Qt Ultralight Browser.

  • verso

    Lean documentation authoring tool (by leanprover)

    I hope that this project will succeed.

    Incidentally, Verso is also the name of Lean 4’s DSL for typesetting documentation.[1] We are running out of words in the English language.

  • wry

    Cross-platform WebView library in Rust for Tauri.

  • ruffle

    A Flash Player emulator written in Rust

    How about the same old flash emulated in wasm, so no plugin.

    https://ruffle.rs/

    Use those same great adobe tools in a vm.
