This is our first internal source release of this. I expect we'll have homebrew builds of a version of this to install on devices before very long. The browser UI code is in Enyo 1.0 and relies a lot on our hosting wrapper, BrowserServer and BrowserAdapter.

Looking forward to installing this on my devices, native webOS browser needs an upgrade. Thanks for sharing this with the community.

Will (have?) BrowserServer and BrowserAdapter be released?

Very nice. How does the interface compare to the native browser?

I believe this is supposed to be the direct heir to the native webOS browser, not an alternate replacement. It's not clear if the code was actually derived from the webOS browser, though.

Ah so it wouldn't be like installing firefox on android. I'm glad to see webOS staying alive through projects like this. The current browser is nice, but it doesn't fully support modern standards. For example Cloud9 IDE is just a blank screen after loading, even though the browser supports HTML5.
