We are making a web browser!
PREVIOUSLY >>61218741

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, join the IRC to ask developers for a repo, and get to programming!

Github: https://github.com/5yph3r/Netrunner

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

>WORK PLAN
1. Browse links2 source code (you can use Ctags for tagging functions and files).
2. Expose API and give access to everything (scripting through executables is planned).
3. Give total control over the DOM, put options in files inside a hierarchical folder structure referencing sites and subsites.
4. Implement a link grabber for every link and media type to be parsed by scripts and independent applications.
5. Create an uncomplicated switch to general security profiles located in saved files.
6. Implement ncurses simple tree style graphics for bookmarks, tabs, advanced security policies by site, etc.
7. Work in the framebuffer graphics rendering.
8. Open API to javascript support (version 2.1pre28 of links2 had javascript enabled).
9. Cache, logs, cookies, and other data storage options.
10. Ports routing proxy management.
11. Vim/Emacs modes, dwb hints and quickmarks.
12. Optionally add parser forHTML, DJVU, PDF, epub, etc.?
>>
FEATURES

- Options by site.
- Granular control over incoming traffic like Policeman (more detailed than uMatrix).
- Granular control over outgoing traffic like Tamper Data or like Privacy Settings (the addon).
- HTTPS with the HTTP fallback optionally in a new instance of the browser with functions like HTTP POST disabled.
- URI leak prevention like "No Resource URI Leak" and no plugin enumeration.
- Local CDN like Decentraleyes and Load from Cache.
- Cookie management like Cookie Monster.
- Option to turn off disk usage for all data (cache, tmp data, cookies, logs, etc.), and make cache read only.
- Randomizer for user-agent and canvas fingerprint.
- Custom stylesheets like Stylish.
- Userscript support like Greasemonkey.
- Proxy management like FoxyProxy.
- Simple ports routing to use networks like Tor or I2P.
- Simple switch to universal profiles to be used like blocklists from uBlock, or like Privacy Settings.
- A configuration file like Lynx for universal profiles.
- URL deobfuscation like "Google search link fix" and "Pure URL".
- Search customization like surfraw, dwb or InstantFox Quick Search.
- Reverse image search like Google Reverse Image Search.
- Use of external applications to open links, replacing video player with youtube-dl and MPV, for text input by a text editor, browse protocols like ftp/gopher, or as a file picker.
- Use wget web crawling feature like a DownThemAll.
- Send commands to a monitor (and command history) to keep browsing while commands are working.
- Simple emacs-like keybindings to menubar by default for new users.
- Keyboard driven with dwb features like vi-like keybindings, hints, quickmarks, and custom commands.
- Configuration options from an integrated command-line.
- Non-bloated smooth UI like dwb.
- Import bookmarks from browsers like Firefox.
- Written in C.
- Low on dependencies.
- GPL v3+.
- Framebuffer support like NetSurf for working in the terminal (TTY).
- Actual javascript support so we can lurk and post in 4chan.

FAQ

For users:
>Will it have an adblocker.
Yes.
>Will it have tree style tabs?
Yes, but not up in the priorities.
>Will it be crossplatform?
Already is.
>Will it it have vim keys?
Yes.
>Will it have "graphics"?
Yes. We are planning to run the program in terminal using the frame buffer for graphics, but Links2 also comes with directfb, X server, SVGA and other graphics drivers.
>What logo are you going to use?
We liked all so far.

For developers:
>Are repos representing the finished work?
No. We're focused on making a custom codebase then we're going to go back with what we learned and rearchitect it.
>Why not a single repo?
Developers are experimenting. We plan on moving to savannah.nongnu.org eventually.
>Where do I get a repo to work?
Look at the OP or ask in the IRC.
>Why links2?
Enough features and the API seems more friendly.
>Why not netsurf?
Good rendering but not for DOM updates, plus dependencies gave problems.
>Will you use a separate javascript engine?
We're debating this.
>Will you use a separate layout engine?
We're debating this.
>Will you use netsurf layout engine?
Might be a problem because of the DOM (not enough information).
>Will you use webkit/blink/servo?
No.
>Do you plan to use a separate HTML parser like MyHTML
We are debating this. Some devs plan to make it work as a document viewer too.

So I was half-away lately, what's been done since the first thread? This looks awesome but it also looks like a lot of work and I'm lazy

simple and minimal. nice

What has been done so far?

Is that a clever way to say that nothing has been done?

Making a "good" web browser is literally impossible.
A browser is useless unless it can show the webpages the user wants to see. Web technology today is a cancerous, bloated mess but your browser has to be able to display it. So either you implement all the cancer and websites work and your browser is a bloated mess like all others or you create a clean, minimal browser and no modern websites render in it. Either way you fail.
>>
>>61264700
OP was lazy and chrome shitposting squad made last two threads. Couldn't see anything else.

>there are now 37 competing browsers that don't work

Also, $20 says this is just more larpfaggotry like the Pepe Liberator rifle on /k/, especially with the part about adding fucking JS support to links2.

>especially with the part about adding fucking JS support to links2.
I would be using lynx everywhere if javascript wasn't mandatory to browse the web.

why not just fork chromium and go from there

Godspeed anons
/g/ is doing good shit with mpv, cloveros and now hopefully an uncucked browser

Fuck, please tell me the other threads are/were more constructive? I really want this browser, but right now it looks like a dead meme.

how fucking clueless can you be

This, just use Chrome
>>
>>61271994
What's something that's like the Chrome you keep recommending but doesn't use the chromium UI, because I can't stand it

install chrome

Does it still use regex for parsing HTML?

stop posting

Get with the times, nerd.

Not sure about the /nrg/ threads but /cosg/ is pretty good for the most part, with the occasional off-topic post, but it's alright
>>
>>61273333
cosg isn't making a browser though

I can just install gentoo
>>
>>61270819
mpv has nothing to do with /g/ though

inb4 this turns out like a Tox IP botnet

It's literally unmodified links source code, a README and nothing else

you retards still parsing HTML with regex?

Great, make NetSurf happen, fuck chrome.

Been away from /g/ for a little bit. What benefits would this browser have... other than forcing me to explain why moon man is on my desktop?

and the moonman logo

Better adblocking, can be used on the terminal without a graphical server (Unix), lots of security improvements, and everything while being lightweight

So basically, everything you could get from netsurf behind a good firewall? JFC, anons, this project has no point. Mark all issues "WONTFIX" and abandon ship.
>>
So I would assume there are a few pajeets hired by x big software company to shill x big software company products on popular websites and try and discredit anything that could take away from x big company profits?

I will support this product as long as it doesn't chronicle my history in an online database, lets me make a meme start neet starpage, and doesn't mark down my hardware and stuff then send it to headquarters for reasons or at least gives me the option to not sign up for that.
>>
>>61279947
From the first threads many anons asked this.
>>
>>61261352
Please stop. You're just embarrassing yourself at this point.

>So I would assume there are a few pajeets hired by x big software company to shill x big software company products on popular websites and try and discredit anything that could take away from x big company profits?
if you're implying that this is what's going in this thread then you're either very ignorant about software development or mentally ill
>>
>>61280400
That part of the post was a joke. I am a very funny person and my jokes make a lot of people laugh. Maybe you didn't catch it? I thought I made it obvious enough based on my wording that the first sentence was a joke. Especially based on my using the word "pajeet" and the repeating of the phrase "x big software company"

haha right, humour is funny

You stop posting mr. chrome

Modern browsers are unmaintainable shit, prove me wrong
