Luakit is a Desktop web browser, across a variety of operating systems. It's been developed for about 15 years, but there hasn't been anything since 2025.
Luakit is a highly configurable browser framework based on the WebKit web content engine and the GTK+ toolkit. It is very fast, extensible with Lua, and licensed under the GNU GPLv3 license. It is primarily targeted at power users, developers and anyone who wants to have fine-grained control over their web browser’s behaviour and interface.
