Suckless community. Similar goals, higher coding standards, less actively maintained. +- [Rose](https://github.com/mini-rose/rose-browser). Lua integrations, supports compilation with GTK4. Every now and then, the developer nukes the git history and tries some different approach. +- [Epiphany](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany). GNOME. Clean browser, distributed via flathub, aimed at nontechnical users. Seems actively maintained. +- [Vimb](https://github.com/fanglingsu/vimb). Reasonably actively maintained, vim keybindings. +- [Nyxt](https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt). Emphasis on sophisticated key bindings. +- [Wyeb](https://github.com/jun7/wyeb) +- [Luakit](https://github.com/luakit/luakit) +- ~~[Qutebrowser](https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser).

Has its own rendering engine, and no javascript. +- [Ladybird](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/tree/master/Ladybird). SerenityOS. Uses its own html and javascript engine. Compiling it on a mainstream Linux distribution, and documenting instructions could be an interesting project, but the few times I've tried that I've failed. +- [servo](https://github.com/servo/servo). Firefox/Mozilla. An in-development browser engine written in Rust, meant to replace Gecko. Could be extremely cool once it is ready, but it has been many years in development. ### Relationship with [rose](https://github.com/mini-rose/rose) @@ -3,16 +3,12 @@ ## Quality of life: - [ ] Document creating new applications, e.g., as in [Asana for Linux](https://git.nunosempere.com/NunoSempere/asana-for-linux) -- [ ] Add list of similar projects: <https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser#similar-projects> - - [x] Compare against rose - - [x] Compare against surf - [ ] Set [`webkit_web_context_set_sandbox_enabled`](<https://webkitgtk.org/reference/webkit2gtk/2.36.8/WebKitWebContext.html#webkit-web-context-set-sandbox-enabled>), as recommended [here](<https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2022/11/04/stop-using-qtwebkit/>) - [ ] Use something other than Whatsapp as an example syslink. - [ ] Fix bug about distorted audio.
