I understand C well, I don't know Rust. C is like the latin of programming languages. That's why I chose C.

The case for this browser, is that there needs to be multiple independents web browsers, to push for innovation. Google Chrome is NOT open source, and is bloated and monopolistic. Competition drives innovation!
Northstar browser is implements in C, takes a few minutes to compile and is secure because it doesn't rely on a JIT compiler.

There are 3 variants of the browser now, so we can do experiments and research. We also need funding. All variants are available open source.
We are 3 developers now, a Polish man, a Spaniard, and me in Norway.

Submission + - Nordstjernen Web Browser 1.0.18 released (nordstjernen.org)
Andreas(R) writes: Today marks the release of Nordstjernen Web Browser version 1.0.18. Developed entirely from scratch in C, Nordstjernen is a lightweight browser focused strictly on conforming to modern HTML and CSS standards. Built in Norway, the project currently supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, with an active Android port currently underway.
Version 1.0.18 is a maintenance release that builds upon the stability of the 1.0.17 branch. In an era dominated by Chromium forks and Gecko-based engines, it's refreshing to see an independent, compiled-from-scratch layout engine entering the ecosystem. For those interested in minimal overhead or native C development, the full release details and binaries are available on their official site.

Thanks for the feedback, we will fix this. The arrow keys direction are still set in the directions for the isometric 2D version, and should be updated for the new 3D map view.

To move a unit, first select the unit you want to move, then press "G" for Goto, and then click on the destination using the mouse. You can also right-click on a unit to get a context-menu for available actions for each unit.
