Discussion with various folks has led us to cease maintaining PureBrowser.
Did we really "cease maintaining PureBrowser" already?
No. The blocker is;
- A blog post holding the announcement of EoL for PB
- Consensus from the maintainer (that's you!) of PB that this is what
we're going to do
I'm happy to write the blog post. How do you feel ending the PB fork maintenance?
Thanks, I'd appreciate if you wrote the blog post.
If I were to decide, then I would wanna end PureBrowser fork *now* before next release expected in few weeks, and expected to reintroduce Mozilla- and Google-promoting stuff currently ripped out.
To clarify, I do *not* imply that I consider Epiphany mature enough to fully replace PureBrowser: I expect some users to continue to need a Mozilla-based (or Chromium-based) browser.
I expect users to be grumpy no matter if we drop PureBrowser or keep it.
But am I really the one to decide here? PureBrowser has been promoted as something estraordinary in PureOS, cemented by glueing a couple addons to it. My judgement here does not take that into account.
