Lithium - My C# Web Browser

[AlTech]

Hello LTT,

 

I have a confession to make. I've been making a web browser for over a year and have not been getting terrible far (trust me it's gotten a lot better but it's still not terrible good). Would anybody be willing to contribute to it and make it better?

 

It's written in C# .NET . 

 

Please Leave a comment below if you'd be interested in making it better or want to contribute to it.

 

if you're interested in contributing or simply want to see what happens to it over time then please also fill out this form below.

Thanks! 

 

By the way, anybody who contributes positively gets to have a steam key for it if it is successful in the greenlight software section!

 

EDIT: i'll add everybody who signs up within 24 hours

 

It's called Lithium Web Browser.

 

 

EDIT 2: WE have created a GitLab repo for it. Invite only using form.

The main things that bugged me in those screenshots was the stock icon and the large loading bar

If you want to try it out then here's the download link for the latest build. Lithium 0.2.0 is not working so well. This is alpha 1.8 and the lithium 0.2.0 refers to a new layout so stay away from that one.

You using your own browser engine? Added to contribute though i'm in uni so don't know how much time i can really give to it.

Steam really isn't the place to be releasing this...

Are you using the default IE engine or have you made one yourself?

 

If it's your own, cool!

If it's IE, I'd recommend changing it to gecko or chromium since the IE engine is pretty much worthless. You'll be getting a better experience and faster engine if you use one of these. (Or something else, but please not the IE engine.)

It is IEs but with less overhead. I don't know how to change it to Gecko or chromium. And both are written in C++

Now I'm not sadly. I've tried numerous times to get the chromium source code and modify it and I also don't know how to make a browser engine. Think of it as IE but highly optimized (I know that sounds bad but you've got to use it ton understand)

I did some googling since it was a while since I used the web browser thingy in VS. But I came across this. It's a nice read with a comparison of different engines. The main bad thing for the IE engine is that it's slow compared to the others. But it does have its advantages too. So I would recommend you checking the article out and personally, I'd go for Awesomium. It's faster and you can download a source code example from the codeproject website written in C#. This way you can see how to do things and do it on your own.

 

Of course, you can continue using the IE engine for simplicity but I'd recommend another engine for it to actually perform better.

I'll try adding GeckoFX to it. And see how that goes.

Hai bbys, It's me. I'm currently working on the Linux Branch of Lithium! I could also use some help with it, if anybody is here who uses a Linux derivative (preferably debian/apt based, though it doesn't matter too much), gimme a shout out at my email andrewrobinson615 (at) gmail (dot) com

 

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Hmm, seems like my post from a day ago didn't go through.

I would love to make a home screen and a few other things with HTML, CSS and PHP.

I could also make a website if needed.
