I have finally managed to get my web browser to a semi-usable state, of which I am now releasing for feedback. This project of mine has been in the works for about five years, of which I have restarted about three times. This version was started in 2007 and as of now is still very very unfinished, however usable. Building this software has taught me many things, one of which is that you should always plan out your programs. Always! I have had to delete reams of code due to this simple arrogant mistake. However I’ve also learnt that I refuse to learn from mistakes. I have never planned a single module of Skout, and I probably never will. That’s called laziness, and that is my middle name (along with awesome).
Skout is a web browser that I have been developing. Whilst packed with features, it retains a lightweight customisable interface to prevent the bloated look and feel of many web browsers today. It could be thought as feel of Chrome with the functionality of Firefox, or at least will be. At the moment it is unfinished, yet I’m releasing it as a pre-alpha version to gain feedback on the current features and to use the general public to get a comprehensive list of bugs.
You can download the MSI installer file through one of the following mirrors. Once downloaded and opened, the file will self-extract and install the browser on your computer. Please use this at your own risk. While the risk to your computer is minimal, you should be made aware that I will not take responsibility for any damages this software may cause. This is unsupported and unfinished, do not expect a fully-functioning replacement to your default browser.
