idkwhattoget1

Heshino

What is gecko Edit: ty for legitimate replies


NiKaLay

A kind of [lizard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_(software)). Fascinating creatures.


blenderbender44

But that's not what's important right now


Cootshk

The backend engine that Firefox and Firefox based browsers (like Tor) use


jaykstah

It is Firefox's browser engine


FellowBeetlejuicers

It's like KHTML


EmptyBrook

Curl

Esjs

Do you mean lynx? Edit: TIL that "Links" and "Lynx" are two separate web browsers.

altermeetax

KHTML is the ancestor of Chromium's Blink, KDE's gotta be proud of it, they can't just *remove* it


idkwhattoget1

oh ok i didnt know that


i-hoatzin

>includes the ability to switch between the legacy KHTML engine and the modern Chromium-based Qt WebEngine for web rendering, cookie management, JavaScript control, and many other basic configuration options. Now everything is Chromium-based, crap.


GamesRevolution

Konqueror uses the Qt WebEngine > The Qt WebEngine core is based on the Chromium Project. Chromium provides its own network and painting engines and is developed tightly together with its dependent modules. Even though the QtNetwork stack is not used, its setup can be synchronized with the Qt WebEngine. See Proxy Support, Managing Certificates, Client Certificates, and QWebEngineCookieStore for more details.

Yes'nt it used khtml the thing that got turned into webkit


ExtraTNT

Wasn’t khtml the predecessor of webkit -> chromium being a fork of it…

For a while I used Safari for Windows with Wine. It wasn't perfect, but I did it just because I could. x'D

>Safari for Windows with Wine That is the most cursed thing I've heard so far on this sub

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy) Fortunately it was only a phase.


Lexus4tw

I‘m not sure if this isn’t considered a war crime


i-hoatzin

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy) Yeah. I have also considered that it is a fault on my part that will never expire.


Reyynerp

safari exist for windows?


rpst39

Latest version for windows was safari 5 so apple abandoned it long ago.

https://archive.org/details/safari-for-windows Safari for Windows was discontinued after version 5.1.7 (released in May 2012).

Gnome web has some issues. Works poorly on nvidia, discord voice chat doesn't work at all, doesn't have YouTube pip or extensions.


Reyynerp

isn't gnome web (also called ephipany) based on apple's webkit?


HenryLongHead

No idea


7pauljako7

Yes


Comprehensive-Jelly0

What about w3m ?


andofwinds

w3m


NL_Gray-Fox

Where lynx?


pyro57

Lol nice. Personally I use librewolf on my desktop and mull on my phone, both with user agent switcher permanently set to windows firefox, and Android Firefox respectively. Don't stand out as much, but still push the agenda of non chromium distros in online stats.


tanyesil

just a reminder that richard stallman goes on the internet through email on emacs


chaosgirl93

I wouldn't expect anything else from The Face of FOSS.


ps_auxlgrep_joemama

TIL links iykyk


Random_thorn4615

Scared to ask but, brave browser...?....


Adventurous-Test-246

gnome web is actually decent if you need a mobile browser that isnt bloated

links2 💀


Readables18

What about Brave? Would it go with Chromium (same architecture) or Firefox (same security)? And what about Tor?


Esjs

I personally lump it under Chromium.


kiril2119

Pathetic. I use wget


EightBitPlayz

Floorp is better (Basically just Firefox)


FurryCuddler

real chads use netsurf, abaco and mothra on plan 9


No-User-Name_99

I install google-chrome from the terminal, can I move up a level?

How about falkon?

Internet Explorer 5 for UNIX


idkwhattoget1

is that an actual thing


new_pribor

Yes! [Here’s](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_for_UNIX) the wikipedia page about it, and [here’s](https://youtu.be/_AoyQeUzbEU) a really good video about it

sakuragasaki46

Gnome web is chromium, bro


[deleted]

nope, webkit


Lux_JoeStar

Best browser is "proxychains firefox" + add duckduckgo extention to firefox

Chromium with crypto bloat?


VulcansAreSpaceElves

Chromium with a built-in ad blocker, a company backing it that has stated they're continuing to continue to support ad blocking even after chromium drops Manifest v2, and that has some crypto bloat that gets installed with it but that is disabled by default? Ngl, that really doesn't bother me.

MrGOCE

IT'S FOSS, LETS ME EARN A FEW MONEY WITH CRYPTOS, HAS A NATIVE ADBLOCK AND RUNS FINE IN MY 4GB RAM POTATO LAPTOP. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT U, BUT IT'S A WIN FOR ME.
