As Chakra is part of Edge, then Edge is not fully closed source.
- satysin 10y agoEdge is closed source. You have no way of verifying the build of Chakra used is the same as the open source version. Well it might be possible to reproduce a build of Chakra to do a binary comparison but i am not aware of anyone doing it.
- repples 10y agoThere's nothing stopping you from compiling https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore and checking if Chakra.dll matches that which is distributed with Edge.
- satysin 10y agoAFICT you cannot build a like-for-like chakra.dll from ChakraCore due to https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore#using-chakracore https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore#using-chakracore The chakra.dll that comes as part of Windows/Edge includes the additional parts not included with ChakraCore (at least that is how it reads to me).
