  Are there any maintained Windows ports of WebKit?
  • karmakaze 4y ago
    WebKit is opensource and Chrome on Windows uses it, so there should be that.

      Chrome doesn't use WebKit. Google forked WK many years ago into Blink [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(browser_engine) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blink_(browser_engine)

        I see that the fork is of WebCore rather than WebKit. Since both are LGPL any forks would also be opensource but with forking WebCore rather than WebKit the thing that uses WebCore doesn't have to be open.

    There's WinCairo for Windows. https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingCairoOnWindows https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/BuildingCairoOnWindows

  Why exactly is WebKit so important? It underperforms Blink and is forced on iOS devs. The majority of its users only use it by default. It’s Apple Internet Explorer
  • MaxLeiter 4y ago
    I see it as a solid competitor to Blink, and JSC as a competitor to V8.
    • pipeline_peak 4y ago
      How much of that competition rides on the fact that Blink isn’t supported on iOS?
      • MaxLeiter 4y ago
        A bit, but unlike many others I support the decision. Browsers are beasts, and I don’t trust anyone to port one securely to iPhone at this point
