Presto browser engine (from Opera 12) for a lightweight Electron alternative


I couldn't agree more. On this subject, I'm still seeding the leaked Opera 12 source w/presto. http://superkuh.com/opera12v15presto-source.torrent (full torrent dl'd is 222.6 MB)

But... browser engines are no longer browsers like they were in Opera's prime. They are operating systems with all the complexity that brings. I don't think presto could fill that role. That said, it'd make a great actual browser.
