WebKitGTK is a full-featured port of the WebKit rendering engine,suitable for projects requiring any kind of web integration, from hybridHTML/CSS applications to full-fledged web browsers. It offers WebKit’sfull functionality and is useful in a wide range of systems from desktopcomputers to embedded systems like phones, tablets, and televisions.WebKitGTK is made by a lively community of developers and designers,who hope to bring the web platform to everyone.It’s the official web engine of the GNOME platform and is used inbrowsers such asEpiphany,Wike, andWeb Apps.
Since adding support for WebKit2, it’s possible to build applications thatuse the web platform with increased security and responsiveness. The webis a jungle, but web pages cannot crash the main application or freeze theUI.
Access is one of our core values. For this reason, we are committed to makingthe web work for individuals of all ages and abilities, from all walks of life,all over the world.
The web isn’t just for reading words. We drive development of the GStreamerWebKit backend and support full integration of video into pagecontent and the HTML canvas element. Currently we are working to finishsupport for WebAudio and WebRTC.
WebKitGTK can use the GPU to enable smooth page compositing andscrolling, as well as 3D CSS transforms and 3D HTML canvas (otherwiseknown as WebGL). This makes WebKitGTK suitable for a whole rangeof games and visualization applications.
