Is NetSurf Dead?
Since 2007 NetSurf has had multiple releases per year, until 2017 where it slowed to one release per year. The last release was May 2020.
Anyone close to the project know why the effort slowed down? I know it's a monumental task to make a web browser but even so as it is it has it's uses.

- eric__cartman 4y agoNetSurf doesn't support any of the new web standards so I would consider the current version pretty much feature complete for what it supports. I don't think the devs ever intended to continue development and turn it into a feature complete browser suitable for daily use nowadays.
- chunk_waffle 4y agoBeing feature complete would be a monumental, never-ending task. But I'd still hope to see small updates here and there. For example, last time I tried the windows build it was crashing quite frequently. Shame there's nowhere to donate to the project (or at least none I could find.)
