| <H1>Bliss Browser OSMode</H1> | ||
| <p>🌳️🌐️💻️ The OS mode for Bliss Browser lets you turn your computer into a netbook for as much time as you choose. A privacy-focused alternative to ChromeOS/ChromiumOS</p> | ||
| </div> | ||
|

|
|
||
| ## Intro | ||
|
|
||
| OS Mode for Bliss Browser is a framework for the browser that turns the interface into a graphical shell similar to FirefoxOS, ChromeOS, and other netbook operating systems. **The OSMode shell is not an operating system**, it runs on top of one. It is designed to make a computer into a Netbook, until the user decides to disable it (via Bliss Browser settings) and have it just be a browser application within their operating system once more. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Netbook definition | ||
|
|
||
| I may be outspoken here, but I believe that Netbook is still the relevant term for a computer that only runs a web browser. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Similar projects | ||
|
|
||
| > **Note** This list is in A-Z order. Also, these projects are listed because they have similar aspects to Bliss Browser OSMode, but are mostly completely different in design. | ||
| - ChromeOS/ChromiumOS - A netbook operating system that is mainly a web browser operating system, although with a very bad privacy record | ||
| - FirefoxOS - A discontinued privacy friendly netbook operating system that was replaced by Google ChromeOS/Google ChromiumOS | ||
| - Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.x, and 3.1x (Windows 1.0 - Windows 3.11) - a graphical shell that ran on top of MS-DOS | ||
| - Windows 9x (Windows 95, 98, ME) - a graphical shell that ran on top of MS-DOS | ||

| ## Challenges | ||
|
|
||
| ### Mobile variants | ||
|
|
||
| On 2023, Tuesday, February 7th, I began to deal with a new problem in the design of the browser: I have designed it for desktops, and I never considered making a mobile variant. I am trying to figure out how the browser will have to be changed to get it to run on mobile operating systems. It is also an interesting idea to have a netPDA/netPhone, opposed to a NetBook. | ||
|
|
||
| ### iOS/iPadOS engine problem | ||
|
|
||
| Due to Apple Incs rule on using third party engines in iOS/iPadOS, the iOS/iPadOS versions of the browser will be severely limited, as the project will be forced to use WebKit for these variants, opposed to other engines. Maybe a rooted variant can support other engines? | ||
|
|
||
| *** | ||
|
|
||
| ## OS ports | ||
|
|
||
| OSMode repositories aren't just for turning the browser into a net operating system, they also contain fine-tuned tools and libraries required to port the browser to different operating systems. The tuned tools will work alongside the Bliss Browser core. The core will interpret the changes for each operating system and its port. | ||
|
|
||
| *** | ||
|
|
||
| ## Questions and answers | ||
|
|
||
| **Q:** Will Bliss Browser ever support ChromeOS/ChromiumOS? | ||
|
|
||
| **A:** No, there is no point. If a user wants a netbook operating system other than ChromeOS, they can switch over. It isn't feasible to port the browser to this platform for many reasons. | ||
|
|
||
| **List is incomplete** | ||
