QmlBrowser is full-featured Chromium based open-source web browser with QML pages support.
is next generation of Web 3.0 browser. It use modern QML language to fill the pages with incredible features. It support 3D functionality in the core and can render it fast on any hardware.
Available on Release page
mkdir build && cd build
qmake ..
make && make install

- null - No 3D API
The default 3D graphics API for Windows depends on the graphics driver you are using.
It can be OpenGL ES (which is fast, but has some functional limitations
It can also be Direct3D 11, which can sometimes be very slow.

- HTML describes how to structure text documents and links on the web. Overtime it was extended with JS and CSS to let you do much more but at it's core it is a text document rendering technology.
- QML was designed to describe how 2D and 3D spacial elements relate and interact with each other. It can still render text but that is not it's focus. QML is much more concerned with creating a user experience rather than presenting textual information.
