We are making a web browser! PREVIOUSLY: In the face of recent changes in Firefox and Chrome some anons were asking for a Sup Forums's perfect web browser, we collected the most wanted here and plan on continuing with the creation.
To contribute follow the WORK PLAN, join the IRC to ask developers for a repo, and get to programming! IRC on Rizon: #Sup Forumsnetrunner
>WORK PLAN Look at the features list and implement them, ask what is currently being worked on if you don't know. FEATURES pastebin.com/bnUU6kcu FAQ pastebin.com/gjp7QmQJ
Hey dudes I'd love to get involved. I'm decent at C and have been learning the basics of systems programming lately (threads, processes, systemcalls, etc.). Think I'd be able to help or am I too basic?
Hunter Torres
Get in the IRC.
Isaac Brooks
Kek. Whats the point of using C that's you're gonna do with it?
Nathaniel Hill
I'm the retard who keeps rejoining the channel as Huey. I can't see my messages or anyone else's
Tyler Hill
hue hue hue
Jaxon Gonzalez
I can see you connected. What client are you using?
Henry James
I was using my browser but I'm going to try irssi now. I've never used IRC before.
Jaxon Howard
Is probably some addon not letting see the because of javascript. Try hexchat if you are new. Also there is a discord.
Adrian Sanders
I got it working now, I guess the Americans are asleep and it's a slow channel?
Bentley Martin
Nigga, you sure are new to IRC. It can take time to get an answer, better send a private message to odili so the next time you see his answer, if by any chance you disconnect.
I found fascinating the first comment, described a lot of security tips we talked here a few months ago.
Dylan Collins
>written in C++ kek. netrunner devs can't into C
Asher Brooks
This. Have fun converting it to C. Its a whole different style of programming
Grayson Lopez
I'd love to collaborate but I don't want my cv tainted by a project with a racist logo, sorry.
Joseph Garcia
By any chance are you the legendary chrome shill?
John Russell
...
Jordan Butler
There are ways around that. So I confirm.
Levi Williams
No I hate chrome
Jason Hill
I'll be honest, initially I thought this was a joke but it seems you all are serious.
Couple questions, why is OpenGL being used as it's seemingly being phased out by major vendors in favor of DirectX/Metal/Vulkan.
Why not use a better engine?
Is the website purposefully shitty, would you consider a different design if one was submitted?
Similar question to the logo design, would you consider changing it if a better one showed up?
I can't offer much in the way of programming(at least at the level that would be required) but I have decades of design experience.
Eli Peterson
I notice the different sizes and names in the screenshot. It will be rare you made it on purpose, no way that first picture is intentionally small. Sorry.
Angel Reed
are you autistic or something?

>Couple questions, why is OpenGL being used as it's seemingly being phased out by major vendors in favor of DirectX/Metal/Vulkan. Portability. >Why not use a better engine? None fit the bill, not even NetSurf. >Is the website purposefully shitty, would you consider a different design if one was submitted? Everybody had a different opinion, nobody won and had to conform. What you see is the result. Our buddy Retro is in charge of the website and welcomes anybody. >Similar question to the logo design, would you consider changing it if a better one showed up? We have a thread on /gd/, so yes.
FAQ is for this though.
Carter Robinson
this project is pure trash
Gabriel Adams
no u
David Rivera
oh boy i can't wait until retards actually start using this and get hacked into oblivion
Ryan Johnson
Don't be so sure, webkit lover.
Juan Gomez
nobody on Sup Forums will be able to write a secure web browser, ever it's way too complex and too much that can go wrong
Easton Brooks
k, bye
Julian Phillips
hello sammy
Oliver James
What the fuck is this browser lmao
Chase Brown
I miss the old retro website ;_;
Jason Phillips

Owen Sanchez

Caleb Sanders

Lincoln Sanders
It's links -g with an animu girl in the corner. Truly a revolutionary browser.
