2. Be civil
- Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
- Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content
- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of
sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts
- Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures
We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations. - Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
- We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
- Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed. ย
Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

I wrote my own browser using WebKit. Chrome is bloat.
I mined and smelted my own silicon. Fuckin' amateur hour out here.
Used to work on WebKit, built my own browser for a while, but damn if they kept breaking qt/WebKit all the damn time.
Ah, I am using WebKitGTK.
Currently version 4.1, though, as 6.0 is not supported on GTK3, and upgrading the project to GTK4 would possibly require a complete rewrite.
I hate, hate, HATE GTK.
Sorry, it's visceral, can't stand using GTK apps, but really hate the framework, it is just so badly hacked together, and QT spoiled me forever.
Need to build one again, this time with a python wrapper, wrote one for VLC and it's spoiled me too.
How do you do security patches?
Recompile with updated libraries. There's probably a better way, but it's further down the list. This thing doesn't even support downloads yet.
Is it a "traditional" web browser or yet another Gnome header bar app?
Looks good
Thanks!
Probably too bare bones for what I would look in a web browser, though. Still refreshing to see someone with a WebKitGTK browser not mimic Gnome Web.
i3 and homemade web browser - this guy is legit
Did you publish it? What's it called?
I call it Magellan. It's nowhere near ready for production use, though.
i just memorized the entire web so i dont need to browse anymore. browsers are bloat
