Description

WebKit is an efficient, open-source web browser engine that powers Safari, Mail, the App Store, and various other applications across macOS, iOS, and Linux platforms. Acting as the core for rendering web content and executing JavaScript within these applications, it enables a seamless user experience. Developers are encouraged to engage with the project by reporting issues or contributing code enhancements. Meanwhile, web developers can keep up with WebKit's progress, monitor the status of features, and download Safari Technology Preview to test the newest web technologies. The project prioritizes real-world compatibility, adherence to standards, stability, performance, battery efficiency, security, privacy, portability, user-friendliness, and ease of code modification. WebKit is licensed as an open-source project under the BSD 2-Clause license, although the WebCore and JavaScriptCore components are governed by the GNU Lesser General Public License. This collaborative approach helps foster innovation and improvement within the web development community.

Description

Surf is a lightweight web browser built on the WebKit2/GTK+ framework, enabling users to view websites and navigate links seamlessly. It supports the XEmbed protocol, allowing for integration within other applications, and users can easily direct surf to different URIs by adjusting its settings. Navigation is intuitive, facilitated by simply clicking on links or pressing Ctrl-g to enter a new web address. While you can compile your own version of WebKit, the packaging process is notoriously complex. By default, surf utilizes the stable upstream version of WebKit2GTK, although a branch based on the older WebKit1GTK is still accessible. The development of surf is ongoing, and users can explore its source code repository or obtain a copy using straightforward commands. Though adblocking can be a complex endeavor, there are straightforward workarounds available. For instance, the gethostszero file can be repurposed to create the necessary /etc/hosts file, and setting up a cronjob can automate the file updates and the execution of hosts-gen. This makes it easier for users to maintain their browsing experience without unwanted distractions.
