Hello everyone, I am gz83, a collaborator on the Thorium browser project. Since Alex is currently unavailable to update Thorium, I have temporarily taken over the task, and this release is a major update to the stable version of M154. The code is available here:
https://github.com/gz83/thorium
I think the current version is quite stable, and I'm only marking it as BETA because it hasn't been officially released by Alex yet.
Welcome to use Thorium. Please submit any issues you encounter in the main Thorium repository using the issue template:
