Senusret's browser, or simply Senusret's for short, is a Lynx-inspired graphical web browser that aims to display webpages without the use of JavaScript while also handling graphical elements such as images.

DOM support

Senusret's will support several kinds of document object models, or DOMs, in a descending order of importance:

  • XHTML 1.1 + CSS 2.1 (the "Standard DOM")
  • A compatibility-oriented HTML 4.01 + CSS 2.0 (the "New Classic DOM")
  • A compatibility-oriented HTML 3.2 + CSS 1.0 (the "Old Classic DOM")
  • A feature-moderated HTML 5 + CSS 3 (the "Moderated DOM")

Supported platforms

Initially, Senusret's will target the Sirius DOS research platform created by Alexander Nicholi using the Sirius A, B, A′ and B′ research computers and Bochs-based virtualisation. Since A′ and B′ are non-graphical i286-based computers, it will not run on those directly. Sirius A and B as well as Bochs virtio leverage Cirrus Alpine series of 2D accelerators, and so Senusret's will directly leverage Cirrus-specific SVGA/VESA extensions that these cards provide.

It is possible for Senusret's to leverage a barebones graphics/media toolkit such as SDL, although this will not be a focus at the outset since virtual Sirius DOS achieves the same effect of support. Once Anodyne has found sufficient form, it, too, will be a target of interest for Senusret's, along with everything else involving Byblos.
