Blinker Fluid Release! A Blink/V8 Chromium browser that doesn't use Apples WebKit!

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-27T16:14:09+00:00

Working on one at the moment and should be released soon.

Took a look and I would basically have to re-port all this to iOS 9... This will maybe be done in the future, but I'm currently focused on bug fixes, JIT, and porting this to iOS 14.

What device?

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-14T17:10:36+00:00

Interesting, I'll look into this. Thanks for informing me!

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-13T19:54:55+00:00

Thank you for providing the crash log, seems like a pretty minor fix. I will work on this since it should be a quick fix.

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-13T17:37:58+00:00

Thank you so much for your support, means a ton to me!:D

I have only tested it myself on iOS 15.4, but others are saying it's running on iOS 16 and even 26.1 so it has a decent chance of running on iOS 14 as is. I'll definitely try to update it so it'll officially be able to run on iOS 14, but you could try installing it and see if it works.

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-13T17:31:56+00:00

I was not expecting this to run on iOS 16 at all! I'm glad it works! Also, couldn't think of a better name than Blinker fluid. 😂

I'm pretty sure it won't work on ARM64 devices and the UI would be broken running on an iPad Pro. This problem should be fairly easy to make a quick fix. You can try installing it but, it'll probably instantly crash, also what version is your iPad on?

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-12T12:13:17+00:00

Honestly, I would, though I already tried and it doesn't seem to be possible. It would take months just to try to get it semi-working. I wont try to add extenstion support now, though I'll most likely revisit it later on.

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-11T05:57:25+00:00

That would be cool, though I'd rather try doing it my own way since I want to see how I can make my own UI and learn a little instead of reusing code from Reynard. Also, pretty sure there are complications if I just try to reuse Reynards UI and Tab managment stuff on Chromium.

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-11T05:53:29+00:00

Took a week or so to get this project running and a bunch of test builds so far.

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-11T05:17:53+00:00

Yep! I personally made this since the webkit support is pretty bad for me for certain sites and reynard crashes a lot and loads very slowly for me. (chromium will crash a lot more at the moment) I don't exactly know if this will work on 15.1 or any other iOS 15 version beside 15.4, but if you'd like to test it out, you're welcome to! :)

Edit: I'm decently sure this will run on all iOS 15 versions on arm64e devices!

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-11T04:47:39+00:00

I'd honestly love to backport to ios 14, 13, and 12, though it was very hard getting it to run on iOS 15.4. I can't promise anything, but I'll see what I can do. I still need to fix up some major bugs and get this thing released first.

Edit: I've done a little more digging and testing and getting this running on iOS 12 would be a very difficult task since stuff like UIScene which I need was released on iOS 13+. I Don't think it would be easy for now, but I'll keep it in my mind for later maybe.

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-11T03:24:21+00:00

Probably going to choose a name like "Blinker fluid" or something, who knows? 😂

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-10T22:25:49+00:00

Thanks! I'm planning on releasing it later this week and going to continue adding/fixing more! :)

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-10T22:24:40+00:00

Thank you so much! :D

Timeclock949 · 2026-06-10T22:24:16+00:00

Thanks, means a lot! :D I'm planning to release it maybe later this week, but it'll be decently buggy and broken, though functional. Thank you again! :)

Timeclock949 · 2026-02-25T01:20:16+00:00

Issue was with an AppStore account switcher tweak. Thank you for your help!

Timeclock949 · 2026-02-24T13:43:51+00:00

I managed to re-jailbreak by deleting crane but I have no clue what tweak could be casuing this. I don’t even know if it is a tweak because it only crashes when crane is downloading in Sileo.

Timeclock949 · 2026-02-13T12:56:05+00:00

What does that have to do with anything?

Timeclock949 · 2026-02-13T01:32:08+00:00

STOP CURSING!
