Edit: They claim they will make that part open source too, eventually, and it is due to behavior of another browser: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp-core/issues/62
Edit 2: They just open sourced the private repository 7 minutes ago, 2024-03-24T12:39Z
The Firefox part is open source, but now some of the stuff they add to it is closed source. Similar to what Vivaldi does by having the UI closed source but the other parts open source.
It’s somewhat open source but now we don’t know what’s actually going on under the hood, they could stick anything they want in that private section and we’d never know what.
