Why doesn't DC make its own browser?

I think there is a lack of lightweight browser which runs fast on low spec computers. I mean on that is updated regularly to cope with new technologies and security. One project could be taking a light browser like Qtweb and maintaing it just for the benefit of Puppy.Linux distributions that target legacy computers.

And there are how many of these type of distro's already? 100+? Just pick the one you like most ;D

you could compile the browser to make it compatible with every distro. It's not easy to find a light updated browser for slow 32-bits machines. That said, I guess one can just resort to a nano computer nowadays like the OrangePi which cost s15$ or so, though even modern browsers may be too heavy for these boards.

If you need a lightweight browser, I think there's a NANY for that.

Spotted this one thanks to ItsFoss.com:

Haven't tried it yet, but it looks pretty lean.
