Chromium is more interesting on Windows because there's no native Windows port of WebKit yet. On Linux, the KDE and GTK developers have already done a nice job making WebKit embeddable in a native way. The bits they are lacking relative to Chromium are: - v8 -- but then the cross-architecture compatibility of squirrelfish [non-extreme] is much more important on heterogeneous linux than on Windows; - the multiprocess system -- but then our embedding layer (glue) is below the multiprocess system; - and the various correctness work we've done throughout (e.g. matching IE form control layout down to the pixel level, mime sniffing logic, HTTP stack). So if I were looking to improve webkit embedding on Linux, I'd probably look at integrating that third bullet point into the existing webkit ports --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Chromium-dev" group.
