Subject: Lightweight FOSS web browser
There aren't many realistic FOSS alternatives to the Firefox and Chromium families of web browsers. Most actively developed #FOSS browsers are forks or spoons of one or the other. The exceptions, such as Ladybird and WebKitGTK MiniBrowser, typically aren't far along in development [e.g. Ladybird] or are limited in scope [e.g. MiniBrowser].
However, I compiled and tested a lightweight #Qt6 #browser named #Dooble today and I'm pleased to report that it works well for general browsing. As one test, this post is being made using Dooble.
The primary limitation that I've noticed is that most videos won't play. In general, the browser is usable even on modern and/or high-JavaScript sites such as LinkedIn and Google News.
Dooble doesn't support uBlock Origin, but it does support domain-level blocklists in AdGuard format. Other features include tabs, cookie management, search suggestions, #Gopher support, custom search engines, CSS and JavaScript injection, low dependencies [aside from Qt6], and multiple security measures. The GitHub link for the browser is:
