Do you have the source for the original video? A mechanic friend would love this but I don’t want to spend 10 minutes explaining what Gentoo is.

Edit: found a different supercut https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxr6Zv5GRkc

It’s Chromium’s non-Google cousin.

If that piques your interest, be aware that it’s mostly Apple’s baby.

And to swing back positive again, it’s open-source because Apple didn’t create it in the first place and they’re bound by GPL to keep it that way.


Finally, a useful fun fact: WebKit GTK often comes with a MiniBrowser program that is a bare-bones web browser wrapped around the engine.

It isn’t symlinked in /usr/bin or anywhere like that, but it does work as an emergency secondary browser if something breaks your main one.

It’s usually found somewhere like /usr/lib/{OS type}/webkitgtk-{version}/MiniBrowser

On my machine it’s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/webkit2gtk-4.1/MiniBrowser
