The automated way is to use ' Playwright'. Afterwards you run MiniBrowser.exe and should be greeted with a spartan browser window.īut you probably don't wanna jump through the hoops of manual installation, especially not each and everytime you need to upgrade WebKit. The only update from my side would be to not install Cygwin and Apple iTunes, as both are monsters, but instead to download the so-called 'WebkitForWindows WebKitRequirements' as ZIP and to put the content of their bin64 folder into the one with the same name of your WebKit-Cairo folder. There are two ways to do so: a manual and an automated one.Īlexander Skachkov was kind enough to describe all required steps of the manual way in a blog post three years ago. But it is still perfectly possible to get WebKit on Windows to start, with almost all the engine features of the newest Safari. It's just that Apple didn't want to invest anymore time in providing a browser UI around it. Since then debugging things in WebKit came down to either buying a whole Mac or using a remote Safari in Browserstack.įunnily enough, the WebKit team kept pumping out nightly builds for Windows together with those for the other platforms. Safari 5.1, back in 2010, was the last WebKit browser that somebody released for the Windows platform.
