"Note that, of the three layers above, only the UI layer is closed-source. Roughly 92% of the browser’s code is open source coming from Chromium, 3% is open source coming from us, which leaves only 5% for our UI closed-source code."
Straight from the horses mouth. So 92% of it is the same as every other chromium browser. 3% is their oss code and 5% is closed source. That 5% more than actual open source browsers.
Which means the final product is closed source.
Wow, you're an idiot.
edit : and that's coming from spez so....
Excuse me? I switched to Manjaro with Xfce about 3 months ago, and if I wasn't high at the time and remember everything correctly, the default web browser was simply absent. Which is an excellent choice, in my opinion.
So, it's default for Cinnamon distribution. That's like saying Amazon AppStore is default for Android just because some manufacturers install it by default. Consider reading the article before quoting it, please.
I don't care about that, you said:
And it's not true.
It was set as default for Cinnamon distribution, which is not even maintained by Manjaro developers, it's a community managed distribution.
