History
webfs, a web file system, and libhtml, a library to parse HTML pages, were written at Bell Labs as the backend for a new web browser. The project however stalled. Aki Nyrhinen has since written a simple frontend called webpage which does an amazingly good job at rendering basic web pages; it makes an interesting use of the plumber to support hyperlinks. This work also stalled and has now been superseded by abaco, written by Federico G. Benavento, based on webpage but with several new features, such as table support. Abaco is making fast progress, and "CSS support is to come soon" [link].See also
