One of the wayland move I like is we are getting cleaner os, and system all the way. But later Firefox and not yet compatible Epiphany made me thinking: what would be to modify Surf and use an “helper” that calls for external programs, so don’t need to reinvent the wheel. Do you think guys would be nice hack? What cli programs would be that makes surf more complete, and close to Epiphany?

This likely doesn’t cover extensions, but I was looking at light/standalone browsers recently and found WebKitGTK MiniBrowser: WebKitGTK MiniBrowser — web-platform-tests documentation
There’s Fedora-specific instructions on that link. For a game I ran it on openSUSE (different path) with:
'/usr/libexec/libwebkitgtk-6_0-0/MiniBrowser' --autoplay-policy 'allow' --private --features='-PreferPageRenderingUpdatesNear60FPS' 'http://localhost:8888/rs2.cgi'
It’s apparently similar to Safari and that PreferPageRenderingUpdatesNear60FPS disable was a fix for 120Hz iPhones a while back.
Yes, thats also nice, and slick - but I think we need something that can be easily integrated to Fedora, not a dinosaur monolith like Firefox. I think it’s time to have a modular apporach, that uses our programs, and apps. I really miss cross integrity from the whole system.
