nEXT Browser: A nEXT Generation Extensible Lisp Browser – Alpha
- pecg 9y agoThis is a definitely an interesting approach. What is the web engine behind it? I thought about the idea on building a simplified interface for blink and V8, but they are extremely and differently glued to other pieces of software in each Chromium release, that it is indeed hard to keep track on them.
- digi_owl 9y agoLooks like whatever webkit variant they can find. https://github.com/nEXT-Browser/nEXT/tree/master/next https://github.com/nEXT-Browser/nEXT/tree/master/next "Use CCL Cocoa Library to use native webkit backend"
- pecg 9y agoMy bad, I missed that comment, was even reading the source code trying to find something about it. Thank you.
- digi_owl 9y agoI find that if i want to find out what something is made of, start with the dependencies in the build instructions. It may not always help, but it seems to work often enough. This time however it was in the version history, go fig.
- zeveb 9y agoI believe that it's using Qt's WebKit API. I don't believe that it has ad blocking yet, but that's a Simple Matter of Programming™.
- The-Compiler 9y agoYou might want to look into QtWebEngine or Chromium Embedded Framework, which give you a stable API over Chromium's content API. Then again, this sounds a lot like qutebrowser ;-)
- 4lch3m1st 9y agoI really wanted to test that, but the lack of Linux support is a bummer. Maybe in a few weeks...
- galfarragem 9y agoSo do I, but on Windows.. It seems to be the Lisp version of Qutebrowser (Python).
- zeveb 9y agoIt runs on Linux just fine, just no download. I've gotten it running myself. Tried to build it for Windows, but it just wasn't happening — far too alien an environment to try to develop software on.

- baldfat 9y agoSeems like QuteBrowser but written in Common Lisp?
- JasonFruit 9y agoI don't want to be that guy, but let me be that guy: you need to search on the name of your product, and if it refers to too many similar things, choose a new name. The DuckDuckGo results for 'next browser' include browsers for Android and Windows (maybe --- only read the headline), as well as articles about what should be your next browser. Google is similar. Choose a new name. You're making life difficult for your potential users. That being said, I'd love to try it, if I had Apple products.
