Define "from scratch" in "building a web browser from scratch". This thing has over 100 crates as dependencies... To implement css layouting, it uses Taffy, a crate used by existing browser implementations... | ||

And it's not necessarily a bad move to use all those dependencies, but you're right it makes the claim shady. I can create a web browser in under a minute in Copilot if I ask it to build a WinForms project that embeds the WebView2 "Edge" component and just adds an address bar and a back button. | ||

When I see hundreds of crates being used in a project, I have to just scratch my head and ask: What the f___? If one vulnerability exists in those crates well, thats that. | ||
