Bug#1032806: RFS: privacybrowser/0.1-1 [ITP] -- web browser that respects your privacy

The Salsa link you included appears to be a bit misinformed about security support for Qt WebEngine in Debian. For more accurate information, I would point you to this link: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1032794[1] Bug fixes for Qt WebEngine are backported every couple of months by upstream Qt: https://www.qt.io/blog/commercial-lts-qt-5.15.13-released[2] There are a number of other browsers based on Qt WebEngine currently in Debian. A non- exhaustive list includes the following: Konqueror Falkon qutebrowser Angelfish If you are interested in more information about the subject, I have a section of Privacy Browser’s handbook dedicated to the subject which is included in the index.docbook in the .deb.
