What a joke project! Chromium has a over 35 million lines of code. These people applied a few patches on it, and then advertising it as if they have developed a new browser. The same goes for Comet also.
From their GitHub readme:
> but Chrome hasn't evolved much in 10 years
Really?? It is not true. You guys please go and check release notes and commits log for Chrome/Chromium project for the past 10 years.
Maybe they're only refering to the frontend/UX. It's true that in 10 years it has not changed much compared to the diff with browserOS.
First of all, they didn't say they are referring to the UI.
The main element in a web browser's UI is the web view where web pages get rendered. It may look the same 'rectangle' as it used to look 10 years ago. But the way chrome renders web pages and execute JavaScript have undergone a lot of changes over the years. Also they have added a lot of new standard and nonstandard HTML, CSS and JavaScript features. Then, there is WebGL 2.0, WebAssembly, WebGPU, etc.

Is Chrome an agentic browser at 35 million lines of code? That's what this project does. Whether they're successful at that or not is another story.
