[PRQ#46920] Deletion Request for webbrowser-git
MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for webbrowser-git [2]: This package continues to violate packaging standards mentioned in comments since 2021. But it is also not useful: it's a not much developed, de-branded fork from 2019—2020 of the Pale Moon browser. The fork's active development happened in 2020 and 2021, with only 2 minor commits roughly a year ago, in 2022. [a] Its Pale Moon originating GUI platform and rendering engine, Goanna/UXP was updated from upstream in 2020 and then not much developed further. [b] There is literally zero benefit to users to use this: outdated, insecure, deprecated in its web standards support, and inferior in every way to Pale Moon and mainstream browsers - among which there are lots of fortified privacy flavors and configurations.
