- coreyp_1 11y agoIt looks great! Many of us are interested in OSS, due to its security benefits. Will any of the code be open sourced so that the security of your browser can be validated? (If this has already been done and I have missed the link, then I do apologize.) I love your interface. I think it is a much needed improvement over the existing options!
- polysuite 11y agoThanks for the compliment! Yes, all of the source code is available and can be validated. See our FAQ for details: https://polybrowser.com/faqs/where-can-i-download-the-source-code-for-polybrowser https://polybrowser.com/faqs/where-can-i-download-the-source... Note that we will be opening up our licensing to the community soon, as well as thoroughly documenting the code and posting it to GitHub. We're looking to build a solid community so that the project can continue to grow. Stay tuned!
- Navarr 11y agoOut of curiosity alone: Why Mozilla as opposed to Blink?
- polysuite 11y agoIt's a good question... The biggest reason is that the Mozilla platform is significantly more editable and open than Chromium, which was needed because much of the tab functionality was altered to allow it to work. Second, this browser began development over 3 years ago, before Blink was released.
