I’ve heard that the graphical browser is back on emacs! Xwidgetwebkit was dead since emacs 29, and for a while I was left pining for a good graphical browser in emacs.
Since then, friendly AI emacsers stuffed usable versions of graphical browsers into emacs, but those never felt truly emacs-native and did leave quite a bit to be desired (embr, the least unusable of the pack, being referred to here; among its warts - unreliable link detection; forcing “tabs” within a buffer; non deterministic unresponsiveness; causing C-g to lag).
Finally I can rid myself of such impurities from core emacs!
- kkylin 1mo agoUnfortunately the NS/macOS version still needs work as far as I can tell. Even not fully featured it's still useful: I prefer reading PDF in xwidget-webkit than pdf-tools, and it's great to have Jupyter notebooks running inside a browser inside Emacs.
