Stainless – A multi-process browser for OS X inspired by Google Chrome

On November 1, 2008, in Uncategorized, by Dito Delacroix

After CrossOver Chromium, here come Stainless :)
Unfortunately for Leopard Only.

Stainless

A multi-process browser for OS X inspired by Google Chrome.

First, a disclaimer: At this point, Stainless is really just a technology demo and is likely to stay that way (though we might add some novel ideas we have for bookmark and history management).

So, why did we create yet-another-WebKit-browser? Because building a multi-process browser for OS X was a cool way to leverage the multi-processing technology we developed for one of our products, Hypercube.

Judging from Chromium’s OS X Detailed Status page, the Mac version of Chrome will use a WebCore-rendered bitmap to pass between the browser and rendering processes. The strategy we use in Hypercube (and now Stainless) is far less ambitious, but a whole lot easier to do and, thus, available today for your downloading pleasure (for Leopard only, sorry).

  3. It seems like every company have joined the browser development race of their own. I am using Google Chrome and it’s lightweight, fast and many more built in features. Hope to use stainless soon. Sleep Disorder Treatment’s last blog post..Love and Marriage and Sleep
  4. I’d love to test this browser out and see how it compares. I’m currently using firefox and I think it would take an amazing effort to make me change.
  5. I really believe chrome just needs more time. When it hits different platforms its going to be great but as for right now they really have a lot to work on internally with chrome.
