About
BuildABrowser is an open-source web browser and rendering engine written from scratch in Java, with its own HTML/CSS parsers and layout algorithms rather than a wrapper around an existing engine. It passes the Acid2 rendering test and supports layout modes including flow, flex, grid, and table, along with static/relative/absolute/sticky/fixed positioning, a broad set of CSS selectors and pseudo-classes, calc/var functions, CSS layers, and media queries. It runs on Linux, Windows, and an experimental Android build, and its modular renderer is embeddable via prebuilt Swing and Android Jetpack Compose layers.
Why it made the leaderboard
An embeddable, from-scratch browser engine gives Java/Android developers a real alternative for embedding web rendering without pulling in a full Chromium dependency.
