But some parts are far from being trivial engineering and are not part of any specs. Just consider the security infrastructure (multiprocess, sandboxing etc.) and how that impacts the overall design of the engine itself.

The e/OS/ CEO said during an interview [1] that GrapheneOS, being a security hardened product, was especially useful for p*ophiles to evade justice. This is totally unacceptable. People defending e/OS/ (and Murena, same people, just branding for devices) are either dishonest or useful idiots.

All models come with some bias. Given Meta's track record, I would not touch anything from them with a 10 feet pole.

If you can, try again (don't forget to start with `./mach bootstrap` to install dependencies) and open an issue if the build fails. SpiderMonkey is shipped pre-compiled for most architectures, so it's not a big hurdle in terms of build time.

A pure AOSP distribution is now lacking a lot of basic apps. Distributions like LineageOS or GrapheneOS fill the gap with their own, but pure AOSP is totally unusable.

> You can’t even accurately calculate things like post likes.
And maybe that's a good thing.

I don't believe this is a good solution: users will obviously click on that add-on install dialog box without being better informed and protected against malicious / buggy / attacker controlled web sites.
Hopefully they will move to a better solution that offers some integrity guarantees instead, like https://rwc26.waict.dev/ that they have an early implementation of in nightly builds.

It has build.rs that will run as soon as you compile the dependency. That's not the same thing but pretty close to a post install script: it's very likely to run.

It's very naive to believe the "no influence" part. I will never give to Ladybird given their closeness with fascists. Is that the kind of influence they expect?

If you are interested in new browsers / web runtimes, Servo publishes binaries monthly: https://servo.org/download/

Probably because they don't leverage cosmetic filtering yet: https://docs.rs/adblock/latest/adblock/struct.Engine.html#me...
