I know. Gnome Web among others. But why isn’t there any more mainstream example? Why does everyone use blink?

They also abandoned it. It has been picked up by the Linux Foundation though, which is exciting.

I have noticed that Mozilla has a long history of bad decisions. I wish that the Foundation wouldn’t just let it bit-rot though.

Also, with the coming merger of ChromeOS and Android, there will suddenly be tons of Android users with keyboards.

IIRC it’s used by a few devices that aren’t really built for web browsing. I think the PlayStation browser, some smart TV browsers, and the Kindle browser all use WebKit? But none of those devices are really intended for browsing. They just sort of have the browser bolted onto the side as an “I guess if you REALLY need to use a browser and have no other alternatives” option.

They aren’t; it isn’t languishing at all. It is being actively developed. Check out the commit log.

Sounds like all you gotta do is wait then, since your hyper-niche scenario will become a lot less niche once that happens.

Oh! I stand corrected. Haven’t heard news about it in quite some time though. Thank you!

You're actually using one? I saw similar project (or this one) some time ago. I also found BB10 keyboards modified to just act as USB keyboard and even tried to buy one but the supply was very limited and they would be gone in a matter of hours. And I have zero experience with JLCPCBs. And all phones are so big now that attaching extra keyboard to them wouldn't be that practical. I would kill for a modern N900 type phone.

What makes you say so?

They saw potential in Rust for safety and technical guarantees, and started the Servo project. Eventually, they integrated some things into Gecko, and then concluded the Servo project.

What makes you think they don't want Gecko anymore? What makes you say they started Servo when it's a partially integrated and, more importantly, a concluded project?

Yeah, I developed that, and I'm daily-driving it since 2021. Wouldn't want to go without one.

JLCPCB is really nice.

The phone does get long, but I got used to it quite quickly.

Mozilla integrated parts of Servo and concluded it as a Mozilla project, passing governance to the Linux Foundation Europe. You call that letting it rot?

Where did you get the keyboard? I had a Q10 (and Priv, and Key) but I'm an idiot and I always throw the phones away weeks before discovering their parts may still be useful.

Are you able to use it with a case?

Opera was bought by a Chinese firm years ago. I'm not saying to use it or not based solely on that; it's just something to keep in mind. That being said, they do have some legitimately useful features, like being able to cap the amount of RAM used with a slider. But yeah, I remember the sale raising some eyebrows.

Does this mean Firefox will continue to reap the benefits?

Aliexpress. Spares are €3-6. Quality differs, so it's a bit luck of the draw if you get a good one. But for that price I could just order a handful different ones and pick the best.

I printed a cut-off case that doesn't cover the keyboard attachment part. I just took a random case 3D file for my phone from yeggi.com and cut the bottom part off in the slicer.

On an old phone I used before I printed the attachment big enough to wrap around the case I was using.

I hope you didn't throw out the priv and key. In working order they are ~€150 each on ebay.

doesn't servo get like zero funding now?

Vivaldi is separate from Opera, it's devs who left Opera after it was purchased

they do at the linux foundation
