Every web browser should have a tree based history by this point. This part is cool: > Nyxt is web engine agnostic. We utilize a minimal API to interface to any web engine. This makes us flexible and resilient to changes in the web landscape. Currently, we support WebKit and WebEngine (Blink). Does this browser have anything do to with Next? The logo seems similar.

Yes. It was renamed a while ago: https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/article/next-nyxt-rename.org https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/article/next-nyxt-rename.org

It's a rebrand iirc.

This whole project looks dope so allow me to make some superficial bikesheddy complaints. 1. It just has bad KHTML forks for the engine. What about Gecko and Presto and Trident all the other fine renderers? 2. I don't know what kind of lisp they're using (probably Common Lisp), anyway it's not my favourite kind.

  >2. I don't know what kind of lisp they're using (probably Common Lisp), anyway it's not my favourite kind. well, given the emacs-nature of this project maybe someone will come up with a mini-transpiler so that one may use their favorite lisp.

I wonder when I see that gecko/servo (whatever Firefox engine is) is rarely the goto web engine for foss projects. Is it hard to embed?

  After briefly looking into this, my understanding is that the embedding documentation hasn't been updated in a very long time, and the overall architecture doesn't lend itself to embedding.

  Gecko itself is almost impossible to use outside of firefox at this point so I don't think it would work well in this kind of a browser unfortunately. I'm not sure about servo though other than it just not being ready for normal browsing.

What does that mean in practice though? Since it’s not a browser plug-in, I assume the download is an actual fully fledged browser. Perhaps I’m missing something obvious. What rendering engine did they choose? Or is it possible to switch between them?

  In practice Nyxt is a common lisp environment that has an FFI binding to webkitgtk (and probably qt-webengine). I've only used to webkitgtk. So Nyxt is a lot like eolie and gnome web.
