The project received some substantial funding recently, so I think I can see where this fear is coming from. However, I also think that a lot of what you say is not true.
The project wasn’t started “because chromium and Firefox have bad reputation” and the website doesn’t even mention either of them or privacy at all. It was the browser of serenityOS, a from-scratch OS created many years ago by Andreas Kling to help himself overcome drug addiction. The browser part simply got so much traction that he recently decided top split the projects.
The project uses the BSD 2-Clause license which is a very common, OSI approved open source license, so I’m not sure what concerns you have in this regard.
Furthermore, I don’t see where you got the “pay for privacy” claim. While they do not state whether the browser will require a license, I would be very surprised if it did, given the projects history. Lastly, a lot of open source projects post monthly updates online and Andreas has done so four many years now. Calling it “propaganda” seems unnecessary and inflammatory.
Please do some research before making big claims like this.
Have a good day, friend!
Tbf, they don’t claim that it is ready for regular use yet:
When is it coming?
We are targeting Summer 2026 for a first Alpha version on Linux and macOS. This will be aimed at developers and early adopters.

Kagi supports this since a while. You can end your query with a question mark to request a “quick answer” generated using an llm, complete with sources and citations. It’s surprisingly accurate and useful!
Have you tried Material Files (it’s on fdroid)? It’s genuinely great and it supports different remote protocols, although I haven’t personally tried this feature.
I don’t know about “simple”, but it’s very good. Been a happy user for many years
Wunderground was great before they got acquired by IBM
Cool but seems very unrelated?
