We’ve been working on Vaev, a minimal web browser engine built from scratch. It supports HTML/XHTML, the CSS cascade, @page rules for pagination, and print-to-PDF rendering. It even handles calc(), var(), and percentage units—and yes, it renders Google.com (mostly).

This is an experimental project focused on learning and exploration. Networking is basic (http:// and file:// only), and grid layouts aren’t supported yet, but we’re making progress fast.

We’d love your thoughts and feedback.

> A lightning-fast, lightweight, and secure

Let me guess, it's lightning-fast because it lacks many features and secure because it's a thousand times less code than the alternatives?

I don't want to discourage, but such description is misleading.
