Re: "I intend to start working on my Gemini browser, Profectus,…"
hah, maybe that's stupid idea but sometimes I'm thinking about fork of the FireFox, drop engine from there and integrate Gemini. Just sometimes I clear to give up with building own app frame (forms, buttons, menus) instead of features I really want (e.g. proxy settings, geo ip controls and other thinks make me motivated build the Yoda). But all the time I'm working with widgets instead of backend features. I still have no options window, no history, no bookmarks.. it's about one year of work and nothing done yet :)
another thought - is write the SOCKS5 proxy, but I won't re-transmit HTTP traffic even there is no problem with performance on the modern machines.

Lagrange text selection works fine in every environment I've tried, from Android to every Linux I've used and even FreeBSD.

I've thought about harnessing Firefox a few times, but it is really a giant pain.

I intend to start working on my Gemini browser, Profectus, again once SDL3 and SDL3_ttf are released (and available on Ubuntu, Fedora, and Flatpak). The move to SDL3 will include much better HiDPI support on all major platforms, and my font-rendering will be redone now that SDL3_ttf has a decently sane API, lol.
