Description
WebPositive, commonly referred to as Web+, serves as the native web browser for Haiku. The name pays homage to BeOS' straightforward NetPositive while also highlighting its contemporary backbone: the WebKit. This open-source HTML rendering engine powers several popular browsers, including Safari for Mac OS X and Google's Chrome. By leveraging the continuously updated WebKit, Web+ is equipped to adapt to the latest advancements in web technologies. The user interface of WebPositive is designed to be intuitive: beneath a menu bar lies a navigation bar featuring buttons to revisit previous and subsequent sites in your browsing history, a stop button to halt page loading, and an optional button to return to your home page. Additionally, a status bar at the bottom of the window displays the URL of the currently loading site or the link under the mouse cursor. During page loading, a progress bar appears on the right side, providing users with a visual indication of the load status, enhancing the overall browsing experience. Overall, WebPositive combines functionality and user-friendly design to offer an efficient web surfing solution.
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.
