  I haven't left the earth yet.
  Working on a web browser.
  Lots to learn, kinda gave up on konquer, just too dependent on kde, webkit
  and qt, firefox is some better
  but it also depends a lot on xul and xpcom. I want to use a lot of kolibris code.
  Have seperated the html parser from the code base, still working on the other parts.
  Not knowing c++ is slowing me down a lot:-)
  The code for firefox is better commented, so it's easier to understand and follow
  .

Firefox depends on GTK. HTML parser isn't main part of Firefox (because Firefox uses libxml2 as HTML parser). The most complex part of browser is layout engine (I mean, real "layout engine" of layout engine ). Anyway, cool! Keep working
