This is work that started several years ago. We had an almost working version in 2018 after the work by @Rajagopalan but I had no time to rebase it on the latest WebKit versions and fix all problems with it. Now with the help of @nephele and @madmax and others on WebKit, I have time to do the fun things again while other people fix the hard to track bugs in the existing version. Thanks everyone for your help!
Now, the WebKit2 MiniBrowser (it is a minimal browser just to test things) is starting, but it crashes when trying to load a page. So I have some investigation and bugfixes to do. I will try to update this topic when I make progress
When I wanted to resume work - the rebase was in messy state which I had no idea where to start from(and didn’t have enough time to look into it). Now that it is done thanks to @PulkoMandy I would also like to resume my part of work
I had no time yesterday to finish cleaning up my latest series of patches, but I will probably do so over the weekend, and push them to the git repository.
Twitter is a bit better for outreach, some people who don’t use Haiku or closely follow us will read it there. Forum is better for the Haiku community, and for collaboration and technical discussions if needed.
I tried to link the photo directly from twitter but it didn’t work this time (strange because it worked in previous times where I tried to do this). Not avery exciting photo anyways, for now…
Anyway, status update: I have now pushed this work to the webkit2 branch on github if other people want to play with it. I have extracted some fixes to put in the main branch too (doing this by small pieces and trying to make sure all commits that go there are properly tested and safe to include in webkitlegacy version).
Hello. I would like to know if Chromium or Firefox browser will ever be ported to Haiku? Browsers that have already been ported are inconvenient and unstable and have limited functionality. I like Haiku, but to use it, the browser must be fully functional and stable.
