    Used to work on WebKit, built my own browser for a while, but damn if they kept breaking qt/WebKit all the damn time.

      Ah, I am using WebKitGTK.

      Currently version 4.1, though, as 6.0 is not supported on GTK3, and upgrading the project to GTK4 would possibly require a complete rewrite.

          Recompile with updated libraries. There’s probably a better way, but it’s further down the list. This thing doesn’t even support downloads yet.

        I hate, hate, HATE GTK.

        Sorry, it’s visceral, can’t stand using GTK apps, but really hate the framework, it is just so badly hacked together, and QT spoiled me forever.

        Need to build one again, this time with a python wrapper, wrote one for VLC and it’s spoiled me too.

        Is it a “traditional” web browser or yet another Gnome header bar app?

                Probably too bare bones for what I would look in a web browser, though. Still refreshing to see someone with a WebKitGTK browser not mimic Gnome Web.

                  There are more features planned. Once it’s feature-complete, it will even have adblocking and KeePassXC integration.

                  However, as I am a student with a few mental health issues, development is slow. I don’t expect the browser to be “finished” for another year at least.
