Verso – web browser built on top of the Servo web engine

1. ladybird

   1 59 45,366 10.0 C++

   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

   Mirror of https://gitlab.com/verso-browser/verso

   

   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

4. Servo

   3 171 30,961 10.0 Rust

   Servo aims to empower developers with a lightweight, high-performance alternative for embedding web technologies in applications.

   

   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.

5. cxx-qt-servo-webview

   4 4 66 8.5 Rust

   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.

6. Ultralight

   5 59 4,782 2.9 CMake

   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.

7. 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.
