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
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.
