RE: https://floss.social/@igalia/116963760482026159 Nikolas Zimmermann is doing an exceptional work around #SVG for the #webkit project in general. And he is a wonderful voice on the W3C SVG WG to make progress on the SVG 2 spec. Go read his two blog posts. We need more of these in the browsers world.

Our colleague Nikolas Zimmermann (of KSVG fame) has two very interesting posts on the Layer-Based #SVG Engine (LBSE) he’s been implementing. The first post covers the steps he’s taken to reduce layer overhead; the second gets into the details of compositing. Worth your time if you’ve ever written SVG, or if you’re interested in how browsers render things that aren’t HTML and CSS! https://blogs.igalia.com/nzimmermann/posts/2026-07-14-lbse-conditional-layers/ https://blogs.igalia.com/nzimmermann/posts/2026-07-22-lbse-paint-order-segments/

Say hello to the Atlantic browser! A native webkit browser for Sailfish OS. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/altantic-browser-feedback-thread/30374/2?u=frankps #SailfishOS #WebKit #OpenSource #LinuxMobile

Atlantic Browser Feedback thread

Change log : Release 1.6.0 - 08/10/2026: Engine updated to WPE WebKit 2.54.1; display now paced at the panel refresh rate (90 Hz on the Jolla Phone 2). Faster taps and page loads: a spare web process is kept warm on high-RAM devices, preconnect is on by default, and the adblock engine loads in the background. Smoother scrolling: cheaper adblock cosmetic filtering, tab snapshots encoded off the UI thread, and a fix for tearing at the bottom of the screen on Mali GPUs. Release 1.5.1 - 29/09/2

Twenty five years ago today I started the #Safari and #WebKit projects at #Apple Computer. Which means Safari is now old enough to rent itself a car. But let's not speculate about my age. I'm still sad I can't use Safari on my Windows PC. Alas, I lost the battle to keep it there. But at least WebKit's DNA seeded or influenced most browsers we use today. And I'm proud of that impact. Along with the wonderful team I built who made it all happen. Here's to another 25, friends. Cheers. 🥂😊💖

"Orion feels remarkably similar to Safari, except with a couple of features you wish Safari had. Block ads and trackers without having to install a third-party blocker, open broken links automatically in the Internet Archive, use vertical tree tabs, and a whole lot more." https://www.slashgear.com/2156034/why-never-use-chrome-again-other-browsers-worth-using/#Orion #Browser #Kagi #Webkit

You probably use Chrome without thinking twice. That is exactly why these browsers are worth a look, they do things just differently enough to matter.
