miniblink

miniblink official version is a simple open source browser control. The latest version of miniblink can help users integrate various functions required for browsing and support multiple programming languages. You can customize functional modules as you like. The miniblink software is embedded with Nodejs, which is simple and convenient to operate. It is an important plug-in for high-end users to use the browser.

miniblink software introduction

Miniblink is only a few megabytes in size and requires only one dll. It can be integrated into various software with a few lines of code through a pure C interface.

miniblink software features

First of all, miniblink has very strict size requirements. In the original Chromium and Blink, all audio and video features that were not of great use for layout and rendering were cut off, and they only focused on the layout and rendering of web pages. Even in order to cut the size, I did not hesitate to use vc6's crt to run mininblink (see my previous article). This is unprecedented and unprecedented.

Secondly, miniblink keeps up with the latest chromium, which means that all chromium-related resources can be used. In future plans, I plan to add the electron interface so that electron can be replaced seamlessly. If you use miniblink, use the original electron during development and debugging, and then replace those dlls when publishing. You can switch seamlessly, which is very convenient.

miniblink FAQ

      1. How to use the miniblink control?

Miniblink exports the interfaces of electron and WKE, which can directly and seamlessly replace existing electron and WKE projects.

Early miniblink also exported the CEF interface, but it has now been abandoned.

Miniblink has a small demo. From the demo, you can see that bracketct, an open source editor based on cef, has been successfully run by miniblink. Now that the electron interface is ready, vscode is running.

      2. How to cut miniblink to such a small size?

This is more complicated. The main thing is to separate blink from chromium, and at the same time add the cc layer (hardware rendering layer). Today's blink is no longer the webkit it was back then. The rendering part is all done on the cc layer, which is extremely complicated. I have been rewriting his painful and complicated cc layer for the past six months.
