I am also someone who searches daily for apps that focus on privacy... At the moment, I have come across Firedragon.
It is yet another derivative of Firefox. But is it truly privacy-oriented? I hope I can discuss this with you.
What I have discovered is that Firedragon is actually a derivative of Floorp. Floorp is another browser that, as they claim, is privacy-oriented. But is that really the case? I also discovered that Firedragon originates from India. And I find that quite suspicious. I don't want to immediately say that every person from India who creates something is immediately suspicious. But things do often go wrong there when we talk about scamming. Anyway, let's leave that aside for now.
I would like to know your opinion and knowledge regarding this new browser.
Update notes:
Why India? Isn't it by the Garudalinux.org people? "Stefan" certainly doesn't sound like an Indian name to me at all. And some other names in the commits sound like the westernized version of Japanese names to me.
the origin of Garuda Linux is india
Sorry, I don't see it. Seems it was co-founded by a German dude and an Indian IT student. Other than that, their about page looks like the international collaboration, most Free Software projects are. It has its origins in Arch Linux, which was invented by a Canadian, and is an international collaboration as well. And regarding Firedragon in specific... Looks to me that project wasn't even started before Librewish (from India) went on a hiatus. Maybe I missed something? I mean I do see the name "Garuda". That's from Hinduism.
your information is important. thank you
Misinformed people gonna misinform. As far as I see, I don't see a security risk as well.
FYI
Garuda is from Sanskrit just means eagle. It's a just a word from a language. Doesn't have anything to do with religion. Word exists in not just indic language but also austro asiatic languages like Thai, Bahasa, Vietnamese etc. Also used in south east Asia and even Korean Japan in some epics, although modern ones translate them.
Indonesia's national airlines is Garuda airlines. All I see is someone familiar with any of these languages just wanted to make eagle linux. I don't see a scam just people being people.
yes Garuda is just their name
I've called tech support lines and had them answered by representatives with heavy south Asian accents introducing themselves with very Western names.
