"Readers may recall that Japan recently passed the Smartphone Act, officially the Bill on the Promotion of Competition for Specified Software Used in Smartphones. Among its most important reforms is a direct prohibition on Apple’s long-standing ban on third-party browser engines on iOS.

This ban has functioned as an effective ban on browsers like Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave & Vivaldi, by forcing them to use Apple’s WebKit engine, which they cannot modify or control. This results in no effective browser competition on iOS, and web apps being deprived of the APIs and performance they need to compete with native apps."

“I’m glad that Mozilla came to the same conclusion I did — that Labs features shouldn’t be locked behind data collection.”

Me too! Although I don't personally use #Firefox, I can say that it's not good if #Chromium becomes the only #browserEngine. Monopolising is not a good thing, and this seems to be even truer in #technology.

Introducing Vaev: the browser engine that renders google.com! Because everyone needs yet another browser engine built from scratch, right? Just what the internet ordered: a faster way to rediscover the world's most revolutionary homepage. #InnovationAtItsFinest

I am renaming my web browser engine to Phenyl. The current name MoeNavigatorEngine suggests that is is tied to or dependent on the MoeNavigator browser, but instead it is an independent software library.

Phenyl is the name of a ring of carbon and hydrogen atoms in organic chemistry. Phenyl rings are parts of different organic molecules. A browser engine can be seen as a part of many different programs that interact with servers.

This renaming is also a good opportunity to put all classes in the same namespace and remove old files that aren't necessary anymore.

The browser engine and its documentation is available on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/moenavigator/moenavigatorengine

The renaming is done in the "rename-phenyl" branch.

Yes! Mal wieder Lebenszeichen von der Rust Browser-Engine. Die moderne Alternative zu Chromium (aka Google Chrome) ist längst überfällig.
