Description
Basilisk is a web browser built on the Unified XUL Platform (UXP), showcasing the functionality that closely resembles pre-Servo Firefox. This free and open-source browser utilizes a Firefox-like interface and operates similarly to its predecessor. It leverages the Goanna rendering engine, a derivative of Gecko, while drawing from the Mozilla codebase without incorporating Servo or Rust. Basilisk serves primarily as a reference application to facilitate the ongoing development of the XUL platform it is based on, and it also presents itself as a viable alternative to Firefox. As development software, Basilisk is essentially in a perpetual "beta" phase, which means users may encounter bugs and are advised that it is offered in its current state with possible flaws. Furthermore, like other projects within the open-source community, it is provided without any guarantees or assurances regarding its suitability for any specific use case, highlighting the importance of user discretion. This aspect of the software reinforces the collaborative nature of its development, inviting contributions and feedback from the community.
Description
Webian Shell serves as a web-centric operating system interface designed for browser utilization. Its back button functions like a traditional browser's back button, while the window manager operates as a tab manager, allowing any web page to serve as the default homepage. The system has the capability to save applications, bookmarks, and browsing history, which can be synchronized across multiple devices via Webian Home. Historically, Webian Shell relied on technologies like XULRunner, Mozilla Chromeless, and Mozilla's B2G, all of which are now obsolete. Gecko has shifted from being a platform for application development to merely functioning as the backend for Firefox. When B2G transitioned to community development, I believed I could leverage B2G OS as a foundation while utilizing the newly developed simplified architecture that distinguished between system chrome and system web services, thus paving the way for innovative adaptations. This approach could open up fresh possibilities for users seeking a more integrated web experience.
