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There is literally zero benefit to users to use this: outdated,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.
