PyView v1.82

The Project

My entry for Coolest Projects Online 2025, is a Python-based web-browser built around the PyQt5 framework. It took about 4 hours to make, debug, and come to this version. My inspiration was that, sometimes, simplicity is better. Also, modern web-browsers don't run so great on models of Raspberry Pi any lower than the Pi 4. So, I got to building a simple, lightweight, web-browser everyday use. I has features like JavaScript, HTML encoding, video playback, and enhanced download support. It was not Very difficult, but I did run into a few errors, which mostly had to do with QtWebEngineSettings,and also some missing decencies. Here is the link to the code and also some demo images since the project outline only asked for a YouTube video: https://pixelknlght.itch.io/pyview
