Interesting to see everyone seemingly writing their own browser lately. Ironic to think that AI assistance, from Google itself, might be what ends up breaking their browser monopoly.
(Speaking as someone who also started writing my own long ago, and it's far from complete.)
- einpoklum 9mo ago> everyone seemingly writing their own browser lately Can you name/link to a few examples? I know about Ladybird: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/ https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/ but haven't noticed other initiatives. > might be what ends up breaking their browser monopoly. This post is a toy project, not a full-fledged browser engine, which is a large beast (even when you _don't_ do everything from scratch)
- userbinator 9mo agoLook around HN, there have been a few already.
- zamadatix 9mo agoI think the one that made the biggest news cycle splash this last month was the FastRender experiment https://github.com/wilsonzlin/fastrender https://github.com/wilsonzlin/fastrender from Cursor, but I've also seen some others posted this last month. Simonw's blog seems to be tracking some under the browser-challenge tag https://simonwillison.net/tags/browser-challenge/ https://simonwillison.net/tags/browser-challenge/ such as one-agent-one-browser and HiWave.
