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

Yeah nice, it will come wil gtorrent implemented? Nice logo
John Flores
fuck off dont listen to this normie
Juan Ross
This logo is fucking cool
Jason Brooks
Nice logo Don't forget to become a patreon and give this turd with stolen code some BTC
Tyler Gray
download link is down gui on windows looks terrible
Aiden Baker
They use the discord more than IRC? Just realize they do.
Easton Torres
So what are the latest progress updates?
William Roberts
The Discord's dead af too though, but the IRC has a Discord bridge though, so I don't think it'd be necessary to use a botnet
Ethan Perez
Discord bridge was down though.
Lucas Hernandez
The logo in the OP
Jack Flores
what happened to the moonman logo?
Oliver Butler
Check the git
Hunter Carter
One of the people deving on this right now. A lot of work is going into the js parser atm. css is coming up next I think.
Gavin Walker
Threadly reminder that Netrunner is an ANSI telnet client.
Carter Foster
>js parser I get that you want to do a custom render engine but why not embed Duktape/Spidermonkey/V8, at least for now?
Lucas Perry
tbf yesterday the logo was shit but this one is rad
Grayson Lopez
I too enjoy this logo. Is anything substantial actually happening though?
>hey guys we're reinventing the wheel Didn't think so.
Christian Watson
...
Joshua Brooks
dunno, I haven't really followed the thread this month. I hope it's going well though because there's pretty much all the addons I use in the todo-list. Seems like an awful load of work
Jace Watson
I'm not saying you're lying but I'm too lazy to check any of the repos or the IRC myself so I'll just say you're lying. Like a month ago the HTML parser was barely working at all for static text content, has this really gotten to JS already?
If so, then amazing.
Ayden Price
>written in C++
dropped
Brody Mitchell
>has this really gotten to JS already If you would've checked the repos then yes, the HTML parser did make some progress though but eh, it still looks kinda unusable
Robert Bailey
so happy to see some love for duktape - i've used it in so many projects and it's an absolute delight to work with
Grayson Brown
what language would you prefer?
Jace Gonzalez
What's wrong with C?
Brandon Lopez
javascript using the Electron framework
Ryder Mitchell
stolen code?
Adrian Collins
From last thread:
Progress on our JavaScript engine continues. The parser is built. Working on building the variable storage system, flushing out parser bugs and writing out the executor. It can understand simple assignments (var a=1), You can press "v" to a get dump of all variables and values. I'm working on more complex expressions now (usually get choked up in parsing them). Function calls will be next and then I'll move on conditionals/loops.
Also just tried start development on a JS console window, so I can get more of a REPL going but looks like the last refactor may have broken somethings in the multiple window system (either that or I forget how I'm supposed to hard code components. So nice having all the UI load from a theme file now).
It's themeable, make a new theme
They're usually connected
Yes discord and IRC are dead, there's not much to say. If you have questions asks them. Otherwise we're not going to continuous babble about the minutiae of our lives.
Also a linux distro
We planned to support Duktape and others but they will be options. I still want our own internal JS engine to minimize our dependencies for embedding in other projects, as that's a project goal.
>actually happening though yes
>hey guys we're reinventing the wheel Yes we are reinventing wheel but for a good reason. See above.
wut?
Things are progressing.
The text parsing is p. solid now. I'd love to hear any bugs people find with it.
How so?
Juan Wilson
For a security-critical application like a web browser, either C or Ada so that you can leverage tools for formal code specification and static verification like Frama-C or Ada/SPARK.
Andrew Perry
Oh amazing. I'm actually really impressed at how this is going. I always had high hopes but tried to temper my expectations due to the sheer expected scale of the project, but you guys are doing amazing work so far.
t. js-sceptic
Nicholas Cox
>c for formal specification >c++ has no static verification tools I wouldn't classify a web browser like Netrunner security critical. It doesn't run as root and it's not serving anything.
Valgrind/AFL Fuzz do a pretty good job.
Benjamin Davis
?
Owen Sanchez
I am terrible at web programming, don't know much about how the internet works, respect myself not to make a shitty logo in the hopes it'll get picked, and have no money. How can I help?
Joshua Walker
1. Testing, use it, find bugs. 2. Make themes 3. Help get the word out: make screenshots or videos. Post on social networks about the project. Get people to check it out
Elijah Morales
then it would just be Chrome
Grayson Edwards
This
Carter Jones
>/ntr/ nice abbreviation
Levi Fisher
Reminder to focus on the browser and not the logo
William Turner
Huh, you guy's are still working on it, I expected it to be dead in a week, month at max, in the OP you should put a list of implemented features (so far) and talk about what is going on in the second post, god speed Anons
Gabriel Evans
This
Jace Gray
God bless you guys ;_;
Will do
Justin Ross
This. Rust is the future.
Leo Ward
>to minimize our dependencies You do know Duktape is one C file and one or two headers, right?
Parker Martinez
How much memory this takes per tab?
Landon Long
Changes all the time. Plus it depends what the tab has loaded in it. I really want this to be efficient. Also I'm trying to think of ways were we can limit a pages memory use.
Alexander Brown
I believe in you anons!
Nathaniel Brown
Nice, real nice, FF is a memory hog but is the only that open more than 3 tabs without clogging. Good luck!
Dylan Gomez
Not to mention fully verifying a browser would be extremely hard, if not impossible with current tools. Want to use lock-free structures? Too bad there's just DLMG, Mitch, Treiber not to mention the only verified *implementations* are java, because thread-modular analysis is pita with explicitly managed memory.
