    I don’t even where to start, but let’s just say that I now see where you’re coming from. You seem to have an issue with this Thorium browser, then project your perspective over other projects that are also forks. Just because one implementation sucks doesn’t mean they all do.

    And we have different ideas of software engineering. To you, features are just the things that the user can interact with. When you say things like “that’s like someone stripping the interior of a Corolla and doing nothing else.” Except that I was thinking, precisely, of working on the whole car, including tweaking the engine, the electrical system, the fuel pump, etc. Sounds like a lot of work? Maybe. But it’s better than building a car from scratch.

    Anyway. Have a nice day!

      that would be more of a rebuild than a fork. If your end product is more similar to the OEM car than it is to the end product. It’s more like a fork. If the car is more akin to a custom built racer, than the OEM, it’s a rebuild.

        Again, we have different definitions what a fork is. Let’s just say that to me, a fork is worth it, and to you, it isn’t. It’s all good.
