Broiler Browser 0.1.0-preview.3
This preview marks another significant step forward in web standards compatibility, networking, and real-world website support.
Broiler Browser continues to evolve as an independent browser built on the fully managed .NET-based Broiler Platform, without Chromium, WebView, or an embedded third-party browser engine.
What's New
ACID1, ACID2 & ACID3 — Nearly Perfect Results
All three classic ACID browser tests now achieve approximately 99% visual accuracy, representing a major improvement in rendering and standards compatibility.
These tests exercise fundamental browser capabilities, including HTML, CSS, DOM, and JavaScript interactions.
While passing ACID tests does not guarantee compatibility with every modern website, the results demonstrate substantial progress in Broiler's rendering engine.
HTTP/2 Support
Broiler Browser now supports HTTP/2, improving network efficiency and accelerating page loading through features such as request multiplexing.
Browsing is noticeably faster, although Broiler remains significantly slower than established browsers such as Chrome, Edge, and Firefox.
The next preview will focus on JavaScript execution performance, introducing improvements to the JavaScript runtime intended to address one of the remaining major performance bottlenecks.
Google reCAPTCHA Demo Compatibility
Another important compatibility milestone: Google's official reCAPTCHA demo now completes successfully in Broiler Browser.
This exercises a complex combination of JavaScript execution, DOM interactions, asynchronous networking, and browser APIs.
Successful execution of the demo is an encouraging result, although it does not yet guarantee compatibility with every reCAPTCHA integration or other bot-protection systems.
Additional Fixes & Optimizations
This release also includes numerous additional fixes, compatibility improvements, and optimizations across the browser platform.
Together, these changes improve overall stability and provide a stronger foundation for upcoming releases.
Known Limitations & Security Notice
Broiler Browser 0.1.0-preview.3 is an experimental preview intended for evaluation and testing, not production use.
- Browsing performance remains significantly behind established browsers.
- Some websites may render incorrectly or fail to function.
- Modern web platform compatibility remains a work in progress.
- Broiler.JS is not a security sandbox. Open only controlled and trusted content.
The next release is expected to focus particularly on improving JavaScript execution performance.

Framework-dependent builds: These archives are significantly smaller but require the .NET 10 runtime (Microsoft.NETCore.App). Keep the extracted application files together.
Windows: The executables are not code-signed. Windows SmartScreen may display a warning on first launch.
Android: The packages are signed with the Broiler release key.

Broiler is an ongoing experiment in building independent browser and application infrastructure with managed .NET, open standards, and a modular architecture.
Every preview brings the platform closer to running real-world web applications while remaining fully independent of existing browser engines.

to install, nothing else to copy. The executables are not code-signed, so Windows
SmartScreen may ask before the first start.
The Android packages are signed with the Broiler release key.
