  3. WHATWG HTML Standard

    HTML Standard

    For a basic browser experience (that is, get pages to actually load with zero regard for any styling), you have to implement all of this. That's already quite a lot of work.

  4. dom

    DOM Standard

    And to run ECMAScript or WASM... well thankfully you can just reuse an interpreter for it, there are plenty of them... upon which you're going to implement all of this.

  5. zypak

    Run Electron binaries in a sandboxed Flatpak environment

    Most chromium based browsers and apps use zypak when runnung as a Flatpak so how is it more insecure ?

  6. serenity

    The Serenity Operating System 🐞

    Really glad you're so enthusiastic about Haiku, but I gotta let you know that you are vastly overestimating its scope. Either that or you're vastly underestimating a browser's, it could go either way. Anyone can make their own OS. Even one with a GUI. Now there's a project that can withstand infinite amounts of personal experimentation. There's Brutal, there's Serenity...

  7. brutal

    🏢 An operating system inspired by brutalist design that combines the ideals of UNIX from the 1970s with modern technology and engineering

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

    Servo is a thing, but it's extremely slow
