Ah, unofficial fork","comments":[{"id":44802856,"user":"lapcat","time":1754421321,"time_ago":"a year ago","type":"comment","content":"

It was a fork. I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "unofficial". Gorhill said at the time that he didn't have time to maintain a Safari version, but he was aware of the fork, which mostly shared code with upstream, and seemingly endorsed the fork.
