We are making a web browser!

In the face of recent changes in Firefox and Chrome some anons were asking for a /g/'s perfect web browser, we collected the most wanted here and plan on continuing with the creation.

To contribute follow the WORK PLAN and get to programming!

>Main repo

>TODO:
- Host project at savannah.nongnu.org
- Set bug tracker, website, and mailing list in Savannah.

>WORK PLAN
1. Browse the links2 source code (you can use Ctags or GNU GLOBAL for tagging functions and files).
2. Open API to future javascript integration (by an independent engine?).
3. Dig the javascript enabled version 2.1pre28 of links2 if you are curious.
4. Expose API and give (scripting) access to just about everything.
5. Create a scripting engine for every accessed interface (vimscript-like?).
6. Create a switch by profiles for incoming and outgoing connections (uBlock-like).
7. Create profiles generator for user-agent and canvas fingerprint, with manual option for the user-agent.
8. Give control over the DOM, use folders for each site to be manually edited (use a hierarchical structure to cover subsites).
9. Include cache/tmp/cookies/logs options like read only cache and local CDN emulation.
10. Implement a link grabber for every link available to be parsed by the scripting interface.
11. Work with the links2 ncurses interface to support simple tree style options for everything (adblocking and tabs in the future).
12. Implement tabs and add tree style tabs in ncurses.
13. Work in the tree style bookmark management with ncurses.
14. Add a javascript engine.
15. Work in the framebuffer graphics rendering.
16. Add the rest of the features.

>The Stack Clash is a vulnerability in the memory management of several operating systems. It affects Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD and Solaris, on i386 and amd64. It can be exploited by attackers to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code.

>Am I affected by the Stack Clash?
>If you are using Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, or Solaris, on i386 or amd64, you are affected.

>What are the risks posed by the Stack Clash?
>The exploits and proofs of concept that we developed in the course of our research are all Local Privilege Escalations: an attacker who has any kind of access to an affected system can exploit the Stack Clash vulnerability and obtain full root privileges.
