We decided to maintain Chromium as engine for stealth purposes.

Browsers like LightPanda lack stealth at all, they are trivial to detect. There are ways to make Chromium more performant, by removing everything that you don't need.

We believe that Chromium can reach that performance without starting an entire engine from scratch, and without losing stealth, a top priority for us.

The language is not the problem, C++ is as performant as Zig, but Chromium bloat is huge, agree on that.

why are you making the internet worse for everyone with this "stealth" initiative? you are effectively lying to website operators.

    lying to website operators is allowed. Website operators aren't paragons of virtue, you know.

    I automate most things. Probably most of what I automate touches some proprietary system somewhere.

    Why does web get a free pass?
