Description:
There is not a broad selection of mature, open-source web-browser engines
for Linux users. Most of the browsers available for Linux are based on one of just three projects: Chromium's Blink , Firefox's Gecko , or WebKit . A new entrant would
generally be seen as a welcome alternative, but the recent campaign to push one
of the LLM-written Nordstjernen browsers
into Debian and Arch Linux has raised some questions about
the project's development and security processes.
