Konstantin: The more you turn off, the less the binary you create is "WebKit". It tells servers its "WebKit" via its useragent, but then it doesn't have the features that pages have come to expect from WebKit -- this is bad for WebKit and bad for your users.
A better course of action is to study the memory usage and reduce memory usage for all ports of WebKit, instead of just hacking off lumps. I think you'll find that things like the "console" don't use much memory at all. Obviously many "devices" have already shipped with "full" copies of WebKit. If you have a very low-memory/low-power device (more than a cell phone or a TV or a car or something that would run Qt -- all of these have numerous shipping example devices using WebKit), then WebKit is probably not what you want anyway. :) -eric On Tue, Jan 4, 2011 at 11:17 AM, Darin Adler <[email protected]> wrote: > On Jan 4, 2011, at 2:59 AM, Konstantin Tokarev wrote: > >> 03.01.2011, 23:58, "Darin Adler" <[email protected]>: >>> On Jan 3, 2011, at 12:53 PM, Konstantin Tokarev wrote: >>> >>>> I'd like to get WebKit running on device with very limited resources. >>>> Basically, it would be quite enough if resulting "browser" just properly >>>> displayed HTML 4 + CSS 2.1, and it would be highly desired to reduce size >>>> of binaries and memory usage as it's possible >>> >>> This is a non-goal for the WebKit project.
