fk29g [1] filed a deletion request for zen-browser-patched-bin [2]: Possibly malware or at the very least highly suspicious packaging. Downloads binary files off random websites and separate git repos. Lots of votes in under 24 hours as well.

Seems like the repo containing the malicious "patches" already got taken down by GitHub. I managed to clone to git repo out of interest before it got deleted and it very much looks like this was written using an LLM. Contains a bunch of comments like "replace this with your actual URL" and so on.
