> About security fixes, yes, between end of 2019 and today, new problems emerged in Chromium (not specific to Kiwi though), and there is some work to backport. Should it have been done earlier ? Certainly.

I am talking about telling users that they should not use a browser which is potentially vulnerable. Clear communication about the current status is not the same as planning an update.

> I see you have StartPage, DuckDuckGo, AdGuard, already in partners, and if they don't pay you, I encourage you to contact them, as they should.

There is no partnership with anyone. DuckDuckGo is a search engine already in upstream Chromium. StartPage search engine was removed months ago and some filters from AdGuard are used used in the combined Bromite filter.

There is no partnership and no payments of any kind because then there would be a conflict of interest to remove a search engine from the default choices while it is also a source of income.

> Also, thanks for the kind words at the end, you really pushed onto open-sourcing Kiwi too. Though sometimes you are a bit extreme for me :)

I am glad you are willing to be more open about these topics, these are I believe at the core of open source. I also wish you to make the project sustainable and fun to maintain.
