You can get the source code here http://scourge.swifthost.net/index.php?page=scourge
or more specifically http://scourge.swifthost.net/Scourge.tar.bz2

By the way, this browser is very competitive among small browsers. Why did you stop developing it?
+78
Also, I'm pretty sure that's the latest source code (with lots of garbage in it because I just tarred the whole thing), because otherwise I don't have it. The box that I had it on died along time ago.

Great job. I love your work.
I haven't programmed in ObjectiveC/Cocoa in ages thou.. so only time will tell. (I only wish I had used a version control back then)
I am suprised to know it even runs anymore, and that someone uses it. I pretty much thought no one cared about it anymore.

The source code is not of 1.1.5a, it is of version 1.1.2a. I just checked. Unfortunately, if you haven't coded in awhile and you don't have the source code, it may be hard to resume.
I may be the only one, but I am serious. This program has/had potential.

This would probably push all of Securnia's buttons at once.

Now tell me "come" is a mistype for "can", and I will roll on the floor bursting my gut laughing.
Who's "so dumb" now?
Firefox...this school project...he actually compared this to Firefox...MUHAHAAAAAAA
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux#History
It has this interesting snippet: "Meanwhile, in 1991, another kernel was begun as a hobby by Finnish university student Linus Torvalds while attending the University of Helsinki."
Guess that school project was a waste of time, hey?

Actually I liked the comparison to Firefox better. It was a bit more possible, though improbable. Now you stepped it up: comparing this to Linux. Oh no.
As for the "some people..." comment: I have all the respect in the world for programmers, as I have close friends who code to put bread on the table, and as I don't know how to code myself. And creating something out of nothing is cool, to say the least. My main problem is people with dumbass remarks and calling others "fools", whereby making illogical comparisons to tried, tested, 200M times-downloaded software to school projects.
As for your last comment, you are correct in saying that this browser requires WebKit. That does not mean it is bad software. OmniWeb (http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omniweb/) also requires Apple's WebCore, and it has many innovative features. The same with Flock (http://www.flock.com/)-it's built off Mozilla, but it has many new and useful features. I actually use it as my main web browser at work now. Camino (http://www.caminobrowser.org/) also uses the Gecko rendering engine, and it is now my preferred browser for home.
So I have cited examples to refute the arguments: a) that "school project" software is necessarily poor quality; and b) that software built off another framework is inherently poor software.
I would appreciate some counter-examples if you have some.

Loads "www.apple.com".
One suggestion: make toolbar buttons configurable.

In all seriousness creating a simple browser with web kit is a great way to learn some of the basics of programming for the Mac. There are simple tutorials for this at Apple's developer website. However, if you want to release an app for the public to use why not spend your energy creating something people need or something that is not in an already crowded, well-served field?
Some good examples? Witch, Quicksilver, AppZapper, Brickhouse, Smultron, Xyle Scope, ManOpen, JellyfiSSH, Cyberduck, MacBarfX ;) , etc., etc.

If you are happy with Safari and Firefox, then stick with them and don't download others to try out. And if the developer's goal is to create a light-weight, but configurable browser (i.e. loading text only), why not applaud diversity rather than just criticize the fact that there are so many browsers?
My Mac Web Browsers list now has 98 entries for browsers available for Mac OS 9/X and I encourage others to develop new browsers with features not seen in other ones! Go for it, Ken!
