Understanding Zepra's Architecture

Most browsers today are built on the Chromium or WebKit engines. Zepra represents a completely independent path, built entirely from scratch with a custom rendering pipeline and JavaScript engine.

The ZepraScript Engine

ZepraScript is our proprietary JS engine designed to prioritize security and determinism over raw historical benchmarks. By avoiding V8, we dramatically reduce the overhead and footprint usually associated with modern web browsers, tightly integrating it with the user environment.

NXRender Composite Pipeline

We utilize the NXRender hardware-accelerated pipeline. This architecture talks almost directly to the GPU context for tiling and damage tracking, circumventing typical heavy OS composition layers and dropping rendering latency to sub-16ms whenever possible.
