#### Building
You need libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev to build this program. Afterwards you can use `gcc browser.c -o browser $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0 webkit2gtk-4.0)` to compile. Run `./browser` to run it.
#### Context
This project is purely satirical. It has accompanying rants [here](https://devrant.com/rants/3836329) and [here](https://devrant.com/rants/3836860). The code here attempts to paint a picture of how easy it can be to build a functioning web browser. You pick an engine and the engine goes brrrrr... Which appears to be what most browsers are doing these days, merely adding their own UI to an existing engine. I do not want this to be the case.
