Savannah

Savannah doesn't have a logo yet.

Savannah is an open source web browser that aims to recreate the Safari web browser to work on WacOS, and Linux in general, with improved functionality, customization, and privacy.

It is still undetermined what languages Savannah will be written in. It is also undetermined which browser engine it will use, but I am deciding between Gecko and/or Goanna.

Safari

Safari was initially released on January 3rd 2003 as Apples own browser, and also to replace Internet Explorer for Mac as Microsoft had a deal with Apple at the time to bundle special versions of Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office into the MacOS operating system. Today, only Microsoft Office for Mac exists, and it goes by a different name.

Safari is still in development to this day. As of 2021, it is written in C++, Objective-C, and Swift. It is the default web browser for MacOS, iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS, and TvOS. Versions for Windows were discontinued over a decade ago, and do not work on Windows 8 or later.

For WacOS, an alternative is being made that is known as Savannah for the lower end versions of WacOS, Cyberdog and other browsers are available. Firefox is the 2nd default browser for WacOS.

Sources

More sources coming soon, although right now, most information comes from the Safari (software) Gecko (software) and Goanna (software) Wikipedia articles, along with past knowledge.
