Going from lawful to chaotic, good to evil, we have:

  • Gecko (Firefox, Seamonkey, and derivatives)
  • Servo
  • Libweb (Ladybird)
  • Links2 (as well as ELinks and other forks)
  • WebKit (used in a lot of stuff, namely Safari and GNOME Web)
  • Goanna (Pale Moon and Basilisk)
  • QtWebEngine (Konqueror, Falkon, and qutebrowser)
  • Blink (Chromium, Brave, and derivatives)
  • Trident (Internet Explorer, old versions of Maxthon, old versions of Avant, and any homemade browser created with Visual Studio).

(until they get a new lead dev, Ladybird is definitely not any type of โ€œGoodโ€)

100%, this is either uninformed or some apologia

What's going on? I've seen this new browser engine referenced recently a decent bit but I have no info beyond 'it's new and exists'.

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 38 points 3 days ago

the lead dev is a freeze peach absolutist. he's said some ignorant shit about trans people and when people said "hey, let's adjust this language" he was like "let's not get political"

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

That's unfortunate :(

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

(The engine itself is fine though)

Is there any Servo-based browser? If not, it should be called Serval.

Where does Dillo fit into this?

Its got cookies disabled by default, no support for JavaScript, and only partial support for CSS. Just as god intended.

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Same box as Links, I think; or maybe the same box as Servo or Ladybird would fit better...

Huh, I didn't know MSHTML as used in IE was also called Trident. I thought Trident was specifically early Edge before they switched to Blink.

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

The Edge engine before Blink was called "EdgeHTML".

  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
