Cool! We need more indie browsers.

Excellent. This person speaks my language.

WTF?! Why?! Why do people keep defaulting to that bloated turd of a toolkit, even in the era of LLMs? The dev is clearly using Claude, they could've very easily vibe coded to use a better toolkit. I can't fathom what made them choose GTK out of all things, especially considering they're going for the minimalism thing.
- roschdal 5mo agoGTK 4 completely overhauled its rendering pipeline. It finally ditched the old CPU-bound Cairo rendering in favor of a modern scene graph (GSK) that natively leverages OpenGL and Vulkan. This browser is C, while Qt needs C++ normally. Maybe I will make my own toolkit, like the Chrome Aura.
