New renderer port in the making

André A. Gomes & John Mercouris

Blink web engine ¹ support in Nyxt is progressing!

What this means:

• Our web engine will be blazing fast (no more laggy websites)!
• We'll be able to officially support platforms such as macOS and Windows!
• Don't worry, we're keeping support for WebKit- Nyxt is engine agnostic.

We can't give a precise timeline of when our newest port will be ready, but this effort is at the top of our priority list.

A proof of concept has already been accomplished!
