Re: ANN: Progress on libs-webkitcef

Hi Joseph,
Hi Greg,

Is libs-webkitcef available for arm64?
I remember I was not able to build it on my pi500.

What about Surf, another webkit implementation by suckless.org?
It could be also embeded.
Look at:
https://surf.suckless.org

P.S.: I had to stop my work on agnostep due to health trouble. Sorry to =
be less present on the list for the future months.

Cheers,
Patrick
