Single-developer projects are always risky. What if the dev just decides to stop developing it? Or there's a massive vulnerability, and they're on vacation with no internet?
- dylan604 3y agoIf that solo dev is an American, based on the use of the word vacation, it won't be that long. If they are non-American out on holiday, you could be screwed.
- dahhowl 3y agoyeah nobody's suggesting you to switch all your company's computers to a small browser project nobody's ever heard of. maybe the point of publishing the work on a new browser like this is to get the word out, get folks to fool around with it and explore the changes, and hopefully perhaps assemble a small community capable of seeing through a vision of making a faster chromium, rather than getting folks blindly using it as their daily browser straight away? if the project does take off, by the time it is actually good to be used as a daily driver it will be void of any furry art, trust me. the beauty of open source is that if the original developer stops developing or goes on holiday for a year you can pick up the torch. mature projects are eventually smooth-sailing and can be used out of the box, but any project goes through many years of not being so pleasant to use (most of the time, the reason's very simple: nobody's getting paid to work on it, so be grateful you have the software in the first place!)
