Yeah seems about right for this project. I really wanted this to be a serious browser, but nothing about this dude is serious.

Also I know he backed this statement up with much better testing but these AI brainrot things people say kill me: “I ran multiple passes of adversarial review, asking different models to analyze the code for mistakes and bad patterns.”

“I coded this with hundreds of handcrafted AI prompts.”

“That sounds hazardous, but did you test it?”

“I had multiple AIs test it it!”

It is one thing to use coding agents to produce code. It is another to trust it on reviewing it.

This reminds me of the C compiler written by Claude Code, which was compiling everything, except printf(“Hello from CCC!\n”);
