Unfortunately yes.

What’s the recommended alternative?
I moved from Fennec to Iceraven for some reason I can’t remember (frequency of updates?). Since I can’t remember off the top of my head I’ll just say, maybe consider Iceraven too and research whether it’s a good alternative for you.
Fennec is updated pretty frequently, generally following the Firefox release cycle with about 3-4 weeks delay. On average there is one update every month.
I think it might have been because of the add-ons compatibility then.
Iceraven has more options like I can hide that ugly homepage that Firefox made mandatory to see every time you open/return to the browser. also has the option to remove that permanent qr code camera shortcut next to the address bar.
Fuck…
Is there a reason given anywhere?I’ve worked on this project a decade. That is a long time and I need to move on in life.
@smeg @schizoidman Based on what I saw in a forum, they want to move on. Have been single handedly maintaining a project for a decade. They, through the project, also requested donations to help sustain this project early this year. Clearly, finance is one of the reasons. Maintaining such a project and rolling out updates as a single contributor, no doubt, is a hard and more than commendable task. I’m not surprised this has come to this
Yeah I’m not surprised a single developer project would end, I’m just surprised something with such a good rep only had one maintainer! Huge credit to them for all their effort, hopefully this prompts a larger group to pick up the work.
