This website is a project site of Gecko Embedded (abbreviated GEM), an open source project to port the browser engine for embedded board environments.

Gecko Embedded focuses on porting Gecko, the browser engine of Firefox, for embedded environments, and also provides information on browser engines for embedded environments, and checks and shares information on the porting status of other browser engines such as Chromium.

As of 2023, the Gecko browser engine will be ported mainly to Renesas Electronics' RZ/G series SoCs for embedded MHI.

This site provides information on Gecko for Renesas RZ/G, which is actually being ported, and on WebViewer (Project Amethyst), which enables lightweight HTML content loading instead of Firefox browser builds in embedded environments. The purpose of this site is to provide information on Gecko for Renesas RZ/G and WebViewer (Project Amethyst), which enables lightweight loading of HTML content instead of Firefox browser builds in embedded environments, to those who are developing embedded products that use them or are considering doing so.
