Welcome to HN, thanks for sharing. That’s a very sad story, I hope you aren’t traumatized still.
A reasonable framework does exist. Since the claim is “we made a web browser from scratch” the framework is:
1. Does it actually f*** work?
2. Is it actually from scratch?
It fails on both counts. Further, even when compiled successfully, as others have pointed out, it takes more than a minute to load some pages which is a fail for #1.
If it loads pages, then it clearly works. Nobody claims it's a practical, competitive browser.
“I built a car from scratch”
…
“Nobody said it has brakes.”
Taken at face value, everyone assumes when you say statement #1 that you are not speaking like a lawyer.
