> An independent web browser written in C. Cool! We need more indie browsers. > No Blink, no Gecko, no WebKit, no JIT. No telemetry, ever. Excellent. This person speaks my language. > UI: GTK 4 WTF?! Why?! Why do people keep defaulting to that bloated turd of a toolkit, even in the era of LLMs? The dev is clearly using Claude, they could've very easily vibe coded to use a better toolkit. I can't fathom what made them choose GTK out of all things, especially considering they're going for the minimalism thing.

> Copyright © 1997 the Nordstjernen project Did this project exist in some form since 1997? The Wayback Machine shows that the website was previously completely different - a fan site for someone connected to the Norwegian royal family.

I'm...suspicious. 10 months ago this account was whinging about the evils of AI and this is heavily AI driven code. README claims to be a Norwegian developed browser but account is in Qatar. Andreas Røsdal has two github accounts, both andreasrosdal and andreasrosdalw, one of which has forked a project from the other or I would just think "oh two people with the same name".
