Hi. I searched a bit through the archives but didn't find any answers. Can one please explain to me why Chrome and Firefox were chosen for MeeGo? I don't get why on devices that have constrained memory anyway load two web rendering engines into memory: Chrome's WebKit or Mozilla's Gecko in addition to QtWebKit. Not only are two rendering engines loaded all the time, Chrome and Fennec aren't even written in Qt. Chrome is written in Skia with some GTK widgets thrown in, while Fennec is written in XUL+Cairo with -- again -- some GTK thrown in.
>From my experience on the desktop, there is absolutely nothing wrong with QtWebKit. MeeGo Netbook could use a tweaked version of Arora for example and I'm pretty sure Nokia's Symbian and MeeGo teams could together release a fine QtWebKit-based browser for handhelds as well. _______________________________________________ MeeGo-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.meego.com/listinfo/meego-dev
