An experimental web browser engine


Veav currently supports a subset of web standards, including:

  • Most display types (excluding grid)
  • Standard CSS cascade behavior
  • Pagination using @page rules
  • Print-to-PDF output
  • All CSS units, including percentages, var(), and calc()
  • Loading of HTML and XHTML documents
  • Very basic networking, only http:// and file:// is supported

For detailed compatibility and feature tracking, see our WPT status page

You can try out Veav by running the following command:

pacman -S base-devel git ninja sdl2 nasm gcc-multilib liburing clang libseccomp # We need llvm 20 and arch doesn't have it yet yay -S clang-prefixed-release git clone https://github.com/skift-org/vaev.git cd vaev pip install git+https://github.com/cute-engineering/cutekit python -m ck run --release vaev-browser -- file.html

An architecture diagram is available next to this file. It's in the tldraw format.
