Maybe someone with an AUR account could please work with me to package these 3 variants of the browser in Arch Linux: https://github.com/nordstjernen-web/nordstjernen-sol-browser https://github.com/nordstjernen-web/southstar-browser <https://github.com/nordstjernen-web/southstar-browser> https://github.com/nordstjernen-web/northstar-web-browser Or just one of them. I promise this web browser project is very much is philosophical line with Linux, open source development and the ideals of "Linux". Yes, wuffs, duckduckgo etc are some of our sins. Note that I am not "anti-USA" in any way, shape or form, I just think that making a web browser to compete with the Chrome, Firefox, Safari would be a fun challange and it seems many people are positive about this idea!
