Tired of heavy resource usage while browsing?

RUSTYBROWSER!

RustyBrowser is a lightweight yet powerful browser in Rust that while writing this. I'll try to say that it outperforms even the most optimized "gaming". with all due respect, Browsers (like Opera GX, Brave, etc)while using just i could say 0.5%–2%

if interested in knowing more, here is an overview of the Core:

• Ultra-low resource usage (0.5%-2%).
• Gaming/Browser hybrid performance.
• Built in Rust (for speed and memory safety)
• Minimal dependencies, fast startup, and low RAM footprint
• GPU-friendly rendering without unnecessary overhead
• Ad-blocking, low-latency tab switching, and Beautiful-centric UX

🛠️ Tools & Libraries i used

to meet this goal, you'll think i used C++, C (basically high-level languages) but honestly.

For Functionality	What i used
HTML parsing/rendering	html5ever
CSS parsing	cssparser
Rendering engine	Custom minimal or raqote
Network layer	reqwest or ureq
GUI/windowing	winit, [druid] or [iced]
Webview (fallback)	wry (for hybrid web/native support)

📦 The M.V.P (Minimum Viable Product) Plan currently in-use

Phase 1 - The Tiny Browser Core.

• ☐ Load an HTML page
• ☐ Parse and display basic content (text layout only)
• ☐ Render inside a window
• ☐ Show tab title, URL bar

Phase 2 - Light rendering engine

• ☐ Add CSS support (basic styles: font, color, layout)
• ☐ GPU acceleration via wgpu or 2D renderer like wgpu or 2D renderer like raqote
• ☐ Asynchronous loading using tokio or async-std

Phase 3 - User experience features

• ☐ Tabbed Browsing
• ☐ Lightweight ad blocking
• ☐ Game-like UI modes (FPS counter, memory display, etc.)
• ☐ extension sandboxing via WebAssembly

Resource Usage Strategy

in order To stay under 2% system resource usage, i had to do the following:

• Minimal threading, batch rendering
• Avoid Chromium/Servo/Gecko-style engine bloat
• Render only visible content (lazy layout)
• Preload content in background threads (prioritized I/O)
