      I thought it just allowede easier debugging, sorry

      Fuuuuck. I wouldn’t eat a sandwich made by this person let alone a web browser. Forking and mucking around in a code base they clearly don’t understand. I get the feeling they’re one of those chmod -R 777 people.

        I agree. That response made me lose any trust I had and I actually went to check that I didn’t still have Zen browser installed from some earlier test run. He sounds like a script kiddie.

          He was obviously very amateur by reading his posts on Reddit. Zen is more of a skin than a real browser, but I guess that’s essentially what a fork is at some point.

          who in their right mind would hand over project leadership to a random person on a forum who he knows nothing about

            Hand over the project?

            You go to GitHub, click fork and now you’re the new project lead.

            It’s always kind of weird to see people (not you, just something I often see in these threads) treating open source projects like they’re commercial products where they can make demands.

            These are projects done in people’s free time and their work is provided to everyone for free. Sure, report bugs and feature requests but crossing into personal attacks on the developers or going full Karen (“red flag” is usually a good indicator of this type) is out of line.

            Don’t use projects that you don’t like, sure. But no person is entitled to dictate how another person’s project should go. That’s why there’s a fork button.
