   Thanks for explanations. However, instead of making yet another framework, wouldn't it be better to contribute to Flutter (e.g. optimize its wasm target, add a vector visual builder), so there is one strong open cross-platform alternat

   There are also: CEF, WebKitGTK ( http://www.webkitgtk.org ) or Ultralight ( https://ultralig.ht ).

   All mainstream web browsers are bloated and use a lot of resources. I am looking for a tiny lightweight web browser with good HTML5 support but without bloat for older computers. Servo, Ladybird and Ultralight ( https://ultralig.h

   Can't they use a transpiler from C++ to Rust? E.g. https://llvm.org/devmtg/2023-05/slides/Posters/02-Preto-Auto...

   It should be more lightweight, not being bloated with unnecessary functionalities.

   It's not about including multiple web engines (like e.g. Sleipnir does) but multiple JS engines in a single web engine.

   The web standards have changed since the introduction of Acid3. The updated Acid3 test is here: https://wpt.live/acid/acid3/test.html and modern browsers should score 100/100.

    We already had Flash, Silverlight, JavaFX and now Flutter (with Wasm). How is Pax better than them?

    LaTeX or Tagged PDF are better than HTML for document-oriented content.

    Nice! There is also Servo webview for Qt: https://github.com/KDABLabs/cxx-qt-servo-webview and Servo webview for Tauri: https://github.com/tauri-apps/wry/tree/servo-wry-demo Hopefully we

    There is Servo webview for Qt, so it should be possible to replace QtWebEngine with https://github.com/KDABLabs/cxx-qt-servo-webview .

    What's the purpose of RISC-V core when you already have ARM? More PSRAM or a NPU whould be more beneficial.

    Not only Qt is cross-platform. There are: GTK+, Xamarin, NAppGUI and even React Native.

    Screen readers aren't the only assistive user agents. There are terminal-based web browsers too, like Links/Lynx, which doesn't support JS.

    You can use my Pure HTML Out-Of-Order Streaming (PHOOOS) technique and a pure CSS framework instead: https://github.com/niutech/phooos (demo: https://kodus.pl ).

    Have you tried Verbatim search in Google?

    But Brave Search has their own independent index.

    Why don't they provide an MP4 and show it frame-by-frame on scroll? It would be much more efficient than hundreds of PNGs.

    The cost to keep a single server which only responses with 301 redirection is worth pennies, or 5 minutes of Googlers' earnings. Breaking the global web is much more costly.

    Few hundred webservers? It could be a single VPS with a single script just looking up the alias in database (possibly SQLite) and serving the 301 redirect.

    It's insane why critical facilities use Windows OS rather than Linux/*BSD, which is rock-solid.

    This is the result of vendor lock-in and the lesson for all businesses not to use Microsoft servers. Linux/*BSD are rock-solid and open source.

    I expected a privacy-preserving open source AI assistant like Mycroft ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycroft_(software) ) combined with Leon ( https://getleon.ai ).
