Captchas I have read the instructions. I have searched existing issues and avoided creating duplicates. I am not filing an enhancement request. What happened? There are multiple privacy and telemtr...
I thought it just allowede easier debugging, sorry
Fuuuuck. I wouldn’t eat a sandwich made by this person let alone a web browser. Forking and mucking around in a code base they clearly don’t understand. I get the feeling they’re one of those chmod -R 777 people.
I agree. That response made me lose any trust I had and I actually went to check that I didn’t still have Zen browser installed from some earlier test run. He sounds like a script kiddie.
He was obviously very amateur by reading his posts on Reddit. Zen is more of a skin than a real browser, but I guess that’s essentially what a fork is at some point.
Mauro is a university student, learning while making an important piece of software, if that is a concern for you, you shouldn’t use Zen. For me, as long as the project is popular, open source and the team learn from their mistakes, I am fine with it. Mauro is a very transparent person with no bureaucracy BS, “Did I mess up? Yes, I did, sorry”. I think there is value in that, the project is so popular right now (for reasons), a lot of eyes are in the code now
You go to GitHub, click fork and now you’re the new project lead.
It’s always kind of weird to see people (not you, just something I often see in these threads) treating open source projects like they’re commercial products where they can make demands.
These are projects done in people’s free time and their work is provided to everyone for free. Sure, report bugs and feature requests but crossing into personal attacks on the developers or going full Karen (“red flag” is usually a good indicator of this type) is out of line.
Don’t use projects that you don’t like, sure. But no person is entitled to dictate how another person’s project should go. That’s why there’s a fork button.
I didn’t see anything about a backdoor at the link.
It’s weird link to this issue with that title, since the problem is only referenced in the discussion. The actual backdoor issue is here.

Fuck me, tell me someone else has risen to effective project lead since then?
His last comment is from 7 minutes ago so I would say no x)
You volunteering?
who in their right mind would hand over project leadership to a random person on a forum who he knows nothing about
Hand over the project?

It’s a link to a previous issue that was fixed, but it’s an egregious one.
