I hear it’s the first browser in a long while to come with a new engine. Completely independent and no revenue model. To me that would work well for privacy but I see no mention of privacy as any benefit. In fact I don’t see a privacy policy anywhere !

Is a goal of the browser to be telemetry free ? Should I as a person who cares about privacy be showing any interest?

    In terms of privacy, not really more than any other FOSS browser.

    What’s more interesting about it is that they’re developing their own browser engine (meaning there will be another independent implementation of web standards) and licensing it (IIRC) more permissively than the existing ones. But that is of course not what this community is about.

      • the privacy/security problem is inherent in websites requiring JS
      • web standards organizations are infiltrated by Google for a decade now. And it’s likely, that they pushed for more complexity and more JS, to secure their businesses, because
        • Google has a major webbrowser (complexer engine = less competition)
        • Google has the major search engine, power over rankings (ensuring webpages implement complexity)
        • Google has 90% internet advertising market share (it’s their turf)

      To fix the web, we need something new, that is simple to implement but still flexible.
