<ul></ul><p>The code itself is free-software, if there is enough interest it might make sense to consider a special package in nonprism.</p> Packages - Privacy Issue #3297: [netsurf] latest libre builds contains nonfree search enginehttps://labs.parabola.nu/issues/3297?journal_id=184382022-12-21T19:19:01Zbill-auger
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>unconfirmed</i> to <i>info needed</i></li></ul><p>indeed, we like to be clear that libre and privacy concerns are very different, and handled differently - eg: [libre] is mandatory - [nonprism] is optional</p>
<p>probably, the patches need re-working; but regardless, there may be some housekeeping in order - the blacklist entry is missing a BR reference; but it appears that the package is in libre only for privacy reasons - it probably should have been in nonprism all along - i suppose that this ticket could be the BR reference; and we can try to get this properly documented<br /><pre>
$ grep netsurf blacklist.txt
netsurf:netsurf:::[uses-nonfree] has non-privacy search engines
