Oxide Browser

About

Oxide is a desktop browser designed to execute WebAssembly natively, operating without HTML, the DOM, or a JavaScript engine. It loads a WebAssembly file and renders pixels directly. Developed in Rust using wasmtime and GPUI, it provides approximately 150 host APIs for functions like canvas rendering, GPU and WGSL compute, hardware accelerated video, audio, WebRTC, WebSockets, MIDI, camera access, and storage. Each application is inherently sandboxed, with capabilities granted only upon request and strict limits on memory and CPU usage. Distributing an app involves delivering a single binary, avoiding the complexities and security concerns of bundling HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and npm dependencies.
