Atlantis is a lightweight Web browser based on WebKitGtk3. It was started as education to learn more about the new GNOME 2.x API and to get myself back into programming (around 2002).

In the past months (back that time) I received a lot of positive feedback about Atlantis and the pressure to release new versions came with it. I never thought that something which was started as an education got so much positive feedback.

This leads to one conclusion: There are many people outside that would like a light, easy and fast Web browser to read their news, scan for new files on various places and do some basic stuff with it.

A Web browser that fully integrates into the Desktop and that don't depend on another browser or parts of that browser (e.g. Mozilla with nearly 30 mb of code).

Why the need of 30 mb of another browsers core and again another 5 mb of something else and suggest the users that they use something light, when simple browsing can be done with less than 50 kb of code ?

Atlantis was first created using Gtkhtml2 from GNOME 2.x (around 2002) but later on - got ported to use the GTK+ WebCore Engine created by NOKIA (around 2004). Around 2018 the entire browser got ported to use WebKitGtk3 for the rendering engine and GTK3 for the GUI.

Furthermore did Atlantis get mentioned on the official NOKIA GTK+ WebCore project site. You are invited to have a closer look over there. OSNews also reported about the port which you can read on their site. Click on the Link to get there.
