Z-Orbit

Z-Orbit is a dual-engine, Windows-only web browser built entirely in Python. A single script that grew into a functional browser.

Switch between a full Chromium experience for standard browsing and LiteOrbit, a custom-built text engine.

What is LiteOrbit?

LiteOrbit is a text-first rendering engine designed for raw speed.

Note: It is currently in ALPHA.

It does not run JavaScript or load ads. It strips HTML down to the essentials for distraction-free reading. Think of it as a permanent "reader mode." If a site requires complex scripts, switch back to the Chromium engine.

Features

A few utilities are built directly into the interface:

• Dual Engines: Chromium for compatibility, LiteOrbit for speed.

• Scientific Matrix Calculator: (z-orbit://calc) Supports graphing, d/dx, and log functions.

• Python Studio: (z-orbit://internals) A mini IDE embedded in the browser. Runs code in a separate thread.

• Neon Snake: (z-orbit://snake) A distraction for offline moments.

• Incognito Mode: Launch a separate window with a dark profile that retains no history.

• User Agent Spoofing: Masquerade as a mobile device or a different OS.

How to Run It

Python is required.

1. Clone the repository.

2. Install dependencies:

3. pip install PyQt6 PyQt6-WebEngine

4. Launch the application:

5. python z-orbit.py

Building a Windows App (.exe)

To compile as a standalone executable:

pyinstaller --noconfirm --onefile --windowed --name "Z-Orbit" --clean z-orbit.py

Or simply as:

pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole --icon=icon.ico z-orbit.py

NOTE: This is just a passion project intended for testing or just for fun. Expect bugs or issues, which can be reported here.

This project may not be maintained.

Info

Code is provided as-is. You can modify it and redistribute.

Made to test HTML rendering and browser-based capabilities in Python. It is NOT super lightweight, just gets the job done.

Any contributions are welcome.
