> The Cobalt Authors forked H5VCC, removed most of the Chromium code -- in particular WebCore and the Chrome Renderer and Compositor -- and built up from scratch an implementation of a simplified subset of HTML, the CSS Box Model for layout, and the Web APIs that were really needed to build a full-screen SPA browse and play application.
So it's based on Chromium, but pretty far from it at this point.
- anaisbetts 4y ago"Based on Chromium" implies that the core rendering code that comprises Chromium is in this codebase, but this is not at all the case if you browse the source. Basically the only thing that this codebase shares with Chromium is a build system and some very low-level libraries (libbase, which is basically a standard library for C++)
- GenerocUsername 4y agoIt was forked from Chromium and there may be parts that are still pulled from the upstream.
