Abaco is a web browser for the Plan 9 operating system. It is a graphical web browser with support for inline images, tables and frames. It has a true multiple document interface inspired by acme's interface. It is a multi-threaded and modest-sized program [http://plan9.bell-labs.com/sources/contrib/fgb/abaco.pdf] .

History

webfs, a web file system, and libhtml, a library to parse HTML pages, were written at Bell Labs as the backend for a new web browser. The project however stalled. Aki Nyrhinen has since written a simple frontend called webpage which does an amazingly good job at rendering basic web pages; it makes an interesting use of the plumber to support hyperlinks. This work also stalled and has now been superseded by abaco.Abaco written by Federico G. Benavento it supports most of the HTML 4.1 standard, including frames, tables and other tags.
