Shiira Web Browser : Web Kit & Cocoa

The Shiira Project is attempting to create a browser that is better and more useful than Apple’s Safari web browser for Mac OS X operating system.

What is Shiira?

“Shiira is a web browser written in Cocoa. It uses the KHTML rendering engine provided by Apple’s Web Kit. Since this is the same rendering engine used by Safari, HTML content rendered by Shiira will look the same as in Apple’s own browser.

The Shiira Project is an attempt to development a web browser using Web Kit. All source code is publicly available under the BSD license. We hope that our code will help other developers just starting out on their own Web Kit projects.”

Shiira 1.2.1 is the latest release on 23/1/2006. System Requirements are Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later (Build as Universal Binary). Shiira’s source code is released under the revised BSD license which means you can use, modify, and redistribute this source code, if the copyright notice is retained. There are no restrictions for personal or commercial use.
