Default Web browser wanted.... - 04-05-2007 , 07:30 PM






I am looking for a web browser that has accessible source. It needs to
be small and fast, and support javascript.

It doesn't need to render wild html; just my custom pages which use CSS
and javascript.

It has to be small and light, and run under linux....

I've been playing with Konq/e but it is proving too slow for us....

Ideally it can run on a bare framebuffer, but I am open to suggestions...

Try Links. Some versions support at least some JS.

Are you thinking of running it on some kind of resource-constrained
"embedded" device, e.g. a set-top-box?

Do you mind paying for a licence or do you expect it to be free?

Yes. This is for a 200 MHz arm with 32 MB RAM.

I don't mind paying for a license, but I need source code and I need a
pricing structure that fits our small market (200-2,000 units/year).

Someone else suggested Opera; we talked to them but their pricing is
geared towards a minimum license of 50K units/year...

I was thinking of ANT (http://www.antplc.com). I don't know about their
pricing structure, you'd have to ask.

You get the source, it's very portable and should run OK on your system.

You mention trying Konq. Have you looked at Webkit? This is Apple's fork of
Konqueror's rendering engine (KHTML), and no, it doesn't just run on Mac
OS X. Nokia have ported Webkit to the S60 and include the resultant
browser on a few of their high-end phones.
http://webkit.org/
http://gtk-webcore.sourceforge.net/
http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/wiki/S60Webkit

(The S60 platform is ARM-based.)

Do you know of a linux port? I've not been able to find anything on
webkit / linux....
