NetRaider Project: Building a Basic Unix Web Browser

Dec 27, 2000, 14:40 (9 Talkback[s])

[ Thanks to Tom Berger for this announcement and links. ]

The NetRaider development team is proud to announce the availability of the second development version of the NetRaider web browser.

NR is based upon the embedded version of KDE's konqueror browser, ported by Simon Hausmann and thus doesn't need any 'environmental' libraries installed.

Our particular itch is that currently available browsers for Unix are either too large, too unstable, rely on third-party software or are proprietary. Enter NetRaider: small, fast, independent and free (we are working on the 'stable' part ;-)). Though currently tested only on Linux, we have the strong intention to make it available on as many Unix platforms as possible.

We are looking for developers (C++, Qt), people who are willing to port NR to platforms other than Linux and people with graphical skills.

You'll find more details, sources and binaries on the NetRaider home page.
