About

Quickly analyze, navigate, and extract information from the Internet. Nyxt is fully hackable — all of its source code can be introspected, modified, and tweaked to your exact specification.

Who publishes this

The creator demonstrably controls this app id: Flathub verification, the hosting account owns the namespace, or a well-known file on their domain.

  • fetches from prdownloads.sourceforge.net over unencrypted http: anyone on the path can swap the bytes
    source:insecure-url
  • installs a prebuilt binary instead of building from source
    source:prebuilt
  • verified on Flathub: the developer proved they control this app id
    publisher:flathub
