Helix

Just another Gecko browser...

Overall goals

• For a developer with pnpm and node, clone to starting development should be under 2 minutes.
• Should be easy to contribute to for someone with Svelte experience & limited knowledge of Gecko
• Extension API support

Testing build artifacts

If you wish to test the browser, you can find build artifacts for Linux under Github actions. To run:

1. Find the latest Github actions run (making sure its on the correct branch)
2. Download the artifact called testing_browser
3. Extract the artifact
4. Run with ./quark-runtime -no-remote

• A maintained version of nodejs
