About WebPositive

WebPositive, or Web+ for short, is Haiku's native web browser. One part of its name is a tip of the hat to BeOS' simple NetPositive, the other points to its modern foundation: the WebKit. This open source HTML rendering library is at the heart of other mainstream browsers as well, like Safari of Mac OS X and Google's Chrome. By using the ever evolving WebKit, Web+ will be able to keep up with new web technologies. WebPositive's interface is pretty straight forward: Under a menu bar is another bar with buttons to navigate to the previous and next sites in your browsing history, to stop the loading of a page and (optionally) a button to jump to your starting page. At the bottom of the window is a status bar, showing the URL of the site being loaded or of the link the mouse pointer is hovering over. While a page is being loaded, a progress bar appears to the right.

surf
surf is a simple web browser based on WebKit2/GTK+. It is able to display websites and follow links. It supports the XEmbed protocol which makes it possible to embed it in another application. Furthermore, one can point surf to another URI by setting its properties. You can navigate by clicking on links on the displayed page. Hit Ctrl-g to enter a new URL. Compile your own webkit or expect hell. The packaging of webkit is purely insane. Surf uses upstream stable webkit2gtk by default, but the previous version based on webkit1gtk is still available as a branch. surf is actively developed. You can browse its source code repository or get a copy with the simple commands. Adblocking is a non-trivial task, but there are trivial solutions. The gethostszero file can of course be reused to create the /etc/hosts file. A cronjob can be used to update the file and run hosts-gen again.

Lightning Browser
Lightning Browser
(1 Rating)
Lightning is a simple, fast web browser that focuses on design, security, and efficiency. It uses material design, doesn't track you, gives you lots of options to protect your privacy. It gets out of the way of the user. I built this browser because I wanted something better. Blocking ads is a core feature of Lightning Browser, meant to improve the speed and security of your browsing experience. Lightning's interface was carefully crafted so you can browse as efficiently as possible. Tabs and Bookmarks are all tucked neatly away in side drawers, only a swipe away, allowing maximum screen viewing with minimal interference from the browser's chrome. Dark mode, light mode, color mode, night mode. Anyway, whatever you like, there's a mode for you. By utilizing the WebKit rendering engine that comes built into your Android device, Lightning can ensure a swift, lightweight experience.
