Thanks for sharing your comment and contributing to the solution. I like what you're doing. Do you have a Discord? Is it a solo project? Working with a team or just "community pull-requests?" Curious about your trajectory.

Currently we only have a public (and another private) Telegram channel where we occasionally discuss upcoming features, problems and solutions to technical problems. The Stealth browser is kind of a solo project for now. It grew out of my personal intention to build a better architecture for a more efficient web scraper + browser that doesn't waste internet bandwidth, because I have pretty crappy internet abroad. But I'd love to grow a community out of it. Before the 4chan attacks last year there were a couple of other devs that occasionally contributed to the project, but they faded slowly away with the discreditation campaigns against me/us. As the 4chan raids led to us realizing that we're better at building cyber intelligence + defense products, we also pivoted with the company to this area because of it. The threat analysis mechanisms and peer-to-peer networking parts (with trust ratio of nodes/edges/paths) are very similar in nature, so it was a good fit, technology-wise. I'd still want to build the stealth browser further and make a better project out of it (especially with the RetroKit fork which is WebKit minus the tracking APIs), but I've pivoted with the company to a different area and that's currently the primary objective. As our country is regularly attacked by a lot of cyber threats right now, we've focussed our efforts on developing the cyber defense technologies. Right now, stealth is primarily being used as a Web Scraper via it's node.js APIs by us. So it's still actively used and occasionally we'll push some features to the repository.
