DivestOS ends development

Hmmm, back to Fennec I guess for us the Mull users?

I guess you can say they...divested from DivestOS.

In all seriousness, I'm gonna need to find a new browser.

sad to hear it. used mull as my primary browser, and wanted to switch to divestos from calyx. I guess not anymore, then :/

Damn, that's rough. What are the alternatives to Mull?

NOOOOO!!!

did they comment (maybe I missed it) on why they're ending development?

I find it frustrating that no discernable effort is being visibly made to pass this project on to another dev or group of devs.

Just unceremoniously announcing it's going down. After a successful fundraiser at the beginning of this year.

I don't know where the funds went, nor do I understand the abruptness of the closing of the project. I'm suspecting that this is a ragequit. Something happened somewhere quietly that led to the developer deciding that they cannot maintain any longer.

This is, in short, quite disappointing.

To anyone; if you do respond to this comment; do not try defend them. Instead, try to provide more context, or evidence that shows I have misread the situation. Arguing about how long he worked, or how passionate he was in the past, does not change the current facts. Provide more facts if you must argue.

So fork it...?

That is really disappointing... I understand the dev wanting to move on to something else after 10 years, but it would have been nice to not do it so abruptly.

Currently, I'm not aware of any good alternative to Mull...
