This is my question:
¿Does the Gecko MSHTML.dll could be replaced by NetSurf's MSHTML.dll?
http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
there is no default DLL for Netsurf, their HTML5 parser is named Hubbub and there are several other projects (Javascript parser, CSS parser, etc.)
http://www.netsurf-browser.org/projects/
¿Could these project be bundled in one DLL to replace Gecko?
Thanks in advance!
I think replacing Gecko with NetSurf could help both projects, because of NetSurf being lighter than Gecko meaning a bit smaller ISO image and installation size. Also, cooperation with NetSurf devs to spread the word.
I may be wrong but i think that no further changes will be applied to Gecko's MSHTML because Mozilla killed embedded support for Gecko.
I don't think NetSurf has to be popular to be able to use it, it needs to work for what is intended to. The developers are very active just like ReactOS ones and every day there is at least one new nightly (there are more) just like ReactOS, it is not well known... but it works (Steve Jobs) and will work better every day, just like many foss projects started.
The browser DOES support Windows, check it here:

But we don't need the entire browser, we need the HTML parser Hubbub which is written in C and because of that, it is fully portable.
