A company claimed it built a web browser from scratch using AI. It wasn't true.
> ...for all that time and money, independent developers who cloned the repo reported that the codebase is very far from a functional browser. Recent commits do not compile cleanly, GitHub Actions runs on main are failing, and reviewers could not find a single recent commit that was built without errors.
> Where builds succeeded after manual patching, performance was abysmal, with reports of pages taking around a minute to load and a heavy reliance on existing projects like Servo, a Rust-based web rendering engine, and QuickJS, a JavaScript engine, despite "from scratch" claims.
