Author here. The browser is made from scratch (not based on Chromium/Webkit), in Zig, using v8 as a JS engine and Netsurf HTML5 parser.

It's a work in progress, there are hundreds of Web APIs, and for now we just support some of them. So expect most websites to fail or crash. The plan is to increase coverage over time.

Happy to answer any questions.

Hi. The project looks promising. Haven't tested it yet, but I want to try it together with Playwright to speed up tests in CI and some scrapping tools. I will keep an eye on the project. Best of luck to you!
