I looked up my local MP in my area, and to be surprise they earn more than I do in a pretty high paying corporate gig in fintech. Seems legit I guess, somewhat responsible for the debates that run the country?
This is pretty interesting! I've created a web browser for GoNix (https://gonix.dev) using the CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework), which works quite well, but requires shared memory and a pipe, but embedding Chromium as a library sounds even more intriguing. I might give this a go! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! I'd be interested to hear how it works out for GoNix.
One clarification: Zebkit still uses Chromium's sandboxed renderer processes and shared memory internally. The embedding interface is a C API: your application links the library, keeps its own window and event loop, and can either embed a web view or receive off-screen frames to draw itself.
There's no Go binding yet, but the C API should be usable through cgo. If you give it a try, I'd love to hear where it fits your setup and where the integration gets awkward. Thanks for sharing your use case!
That said this is not upstream Webkit (but they do try to keep up to date, its just they usually lag due to the customizations they did), but a more cut down version of it that supports a bunch of build config flags, and is used by a ton of embedded devices.
It's a fairly significantly more lightweight option to Chrome/CEF, that does suffer from a somewhat worse DX and compat with web content, but if you can tailor your content to it, rather than looking for a flawless ootb experience, it's a worthwhile choice.
The same way we've done before? With enough curiosity and drive, we look under the covers, satisfy our curiosities and figure out how things work? I'm not sure this is any different to basically _any_ technoligical advancement in the last 100 years?

This. And/Or promote and invest in private companies that are attempting to solve this very problem by putting more control in the hands of parents.
Could you please write a similar well-worded letter to the Australian government too where we've already done this, and frankly it's terrible? Please and thank you!
