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 minimalist web browser written entirely from scratch in C. The browser is available for Linux, Mac, and Windows. The announcement, shared via Slashdot, is drawing attention from internet and browser enthusiasts curious about a from-scratch alternative to mainstream browsers, at a time when most browsers rely on shared engines like Chromium.
Why now: People are interested in rare independent, from-scratch browser projects outside the dominant Chromium and Gecko ecosystems.
