I think it’s important to raise issues with project maintainers directly before publicizing issues and that’s been the case here however the devs are not really responding appropriately or showing a massive lack of incompetence.

For those not aware, Zen browser markets itself as privacy conscious browser however a serious backdoor has been found and multiple topics regarding its lack of privacy has been practically ignored.

It think it’s important to raise awareness of this as the browser is gaining popularity and it’s clear the devs lack the experience to secure the browser.

I do think it's important to raise issues like this, but I personally hope that it means people put more careful eyes on it and pitch in patches so the project succeeds rather than people avoiding it.

(totally unbiased opinion from having just switched to it after apparently not enough research and not wanting to continue the browser hunt)
