Hi, I am making the Nordstjernen web browser.
Implemented in C. It's like Dillo, small and simple.

I hope it's interesting for you, the internet needs more small independent web browsers.
I'm all for more independent web browser alternatives, but there appear to be a couple of issues which would make this a non-starter for many people in this community: 1. Proprietary "source-available" style license. This does not make the project attractive for potential contributors, and users may also be resistant to participate in such a model. 2. Appears to be largely "vibe-coded". You make statements like "clean-room web browser written from scratch", but then there is this in 'Agents.MD': "Don't leave traces that the code has been written by AI LLM, in commit messages and git author and git committer." Some would argue that it can't be "clean-room from scratch" when the AI models you are using have been trained on other peoples work... Regards, Alex
