Original: Long-time Slashdot reader Andreas(R) announces Northstar 'A "minimalist" web browser written entirely from scratch in C'
Long-time Slashdot reader Andreas(R) has announced Northstar, a web browser described as minimalist and written entirely from scratch in the C programming language. The browser is available for Linux, Mac, and Windows. Building a browser without basing it on an existing engine like Chromium or Firefox is a rare undertaking, and the announcement is drawing attention from the browser and internet communities.
Why now: New from-scratch browsers are rare, and the minimalist, C-based approach appeals to developers interested in alternatives to dominant browser engines
