librewolf is still dependent on firefox for development, just like vivaldi is on chrome. there is no european web browser.
is there anything based on khtml ??? Idk how it works but these forks are shady
yeah, webkit (as in, the engine for safari, and the base of blink which powers chromium) is based on khtml. khtml is oooooooold.
Although I found mojeek which feels like a browser????
mojeek is a search engine.
For FF and Chromium to, their source is open so if there ever was a need to make it fully European, it would be doable. Or did I miss something? (novice question, here)
I got a security alert when clicking the link, I did not push further sorry ;)
Because it's not using https. While https is certainly preferable, as long as you're just reading info of a website (not making an account, entering data) http is pretty much fine.
Modern Browsers just don't like it (which is also understandable, because most users probably don't care about the nuances of when it is or isn't a problem).
I see, thx.
in addition to the other reply, the teams working on browsers are massive. over 500 developers for each, and that's only the core teams without external contributors. you don't just put together a team like that in an afternoon.
Yes, I can imagine that. Thx (too ;))
The problem is that Librewolf, ungoogled chromium etc are soft forks, meaning they are completely dependent on the original projects. If for example Trump made a law banning releasing software as open source because that’s communism, Librewolf would likely cease to exist
Oh, it makes sense. Thx a lot for the clarification.
