- The repository, as well as some of the dev’s other projects, contained furry porn. I believe this has since been removed from Thorium.
- The Thorium website also contained an archive of a different website that existed to dissuade people from infant circumcision. In my view, this is a justified viewpoint, though I know not everyone may agree. Regardless of your stance on it, though, I think we can all agree that this is neither a relevant or professional thing to include in a browser project, /nor child pornography/. CP accusations are extremely serious and I have seen no evidence to suggest they’re justified.
All in all, it appears that what started as a small pet project, along with the dev’s personal views and quirks, quickly gained traction amongst others who were then taken aback by seeing content they didn’t expect. I can’t comment on the value of Thorium from a technical perspective, but it seems a shame to spread misinformation about a developer who doesn’t seem to have done anything particularly reprehensible.
This is all my present understanding. If I’ve missed anything, I’d welcome corrections.
