That is a massive undertaking that hasn’t been done in a very long time. Modern browsers have either been around for 20 years or are forks. (Sometimes both)

We are taking about creating something from scratch. That can take 5-10 years to do.

The good news is that we have plenty of tools on our tool belt. Think browsers such as Mull and Librewolf plus extensions like ublock.

Well - I’m not part of the project but I respect the deveopers that are and that they make the right decision for their work or spare time.

If you are part of the project but feel that your effort is wasted you should indeed work on something else

  2. Follow the Lemmy.zip rules

  4. No “circle jerking” or inflammatory posts
  5. No discussion of illegal content

Please report anything you believe to violate the rules and be sure to include rhetoric on why you think it should be removed.

If you would like to contest mod actions please DM me with your rational as to why you feel that the relivant mod action should be reversed. Remember to use rhetoric and to site any relevant sources. You will only get one chance to argue your point and continued harassment will result in a ban.

Overall this community is pretty laid back and none if the things list above normally are an issue.
