  • Dillo: project revived in 2024

  • Layout 2013 & 2020 are separate "Servo" Engines: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Servo-Layout-2020-Focus

  • https://lexbor.com/

  • https://github.com/lexborisov/Modest (predecessor of the above)

  • Opposum for Plan 9: https://github.com/psilva261/opossum

(the following received via email)

  • BeConn engine (1995-1998?)

  • HighWire engine (2001-2010 active development, 2011+ maintenance)

  • Netkit (of the NetSurfer browser - 1994-1996? or 1998?; NeXTSTEP/OpenStep; nothing to do w/ WebKit)

  • WannaBe engine (1998-2002; text-based). WannaBe is a Gzilla fork (mindstory.com/wb2/docs/about.html) but only for 1998-2001; it changed rendering engine in 2001 and continued with it to 2002.

  • 2 forks of Cobra: the gngr engine (2014-2022; also dead?) and CobraEvolution (of LoboEvolution; 2019+; alive)

  • engine of the Charlotte browser (for VM/CMS? VM/ESA? z/VM? documentation on it is very unclear) that started development before 1997 and lasted with maintenance until 2010?

  • engine of Aplix, the Japan-only browser for the Sega Saturn (1996-1997). (Nothing to do with PlanetWeb. )

  • Mnemonic. It was developed from 1997 to 2000 with its site formerly at mnemonic.org. I get the idea that it was an independent engine from what was written on certain captures of the page.

  • iCab: mention in the graph that while the engine is dead the browser with the same name still exists (using Webkit)
