Meanwhile, Cent has a team of LITERALLY THREE PEOPLE. So yeah, methinks all the delays correlate directly to having too few people bearing the load of building and updating a browser.

Vivaldi, Opera, Brave and others have huge amounts more resources compared to Cent, and yet not one of them is able to keep Direct Write, even after it being requested multiple times. Ask yourself why.

Advanced Chrome couldn't do it which is why they ended up with a workaround of sorts. If there was some widely available code that no-one could be bothered to include, I would agree with you, but it's not like that.

Just throwing more people at a problem doesn't mean it will all get solved. The Cent devs might be of the opinion that you could throw 10 people at the problem and it won't help. Trying to put something previously removed completely back into software as complex as a browser that has major updates every 6 weeks must be no easy task. It's a moving target all the time.

Anyway, they've made it quite clear more than once that they don't want help of that variety. Whether they change their mind in future is anyone's guess but for now, we just need to accept their stance and offer useful feedback in other ways.

Also, if no one's doing it, it doesn't mean you/we shouldn't do it.
I have already stated a multiple times that I am down to maintaining it, as well as naming the fork 'Lite' as a matter of fact.

Please stop insisting you have the most ideal opinion.

Also, it's not about SOLVING A PROBLEM. It's about there being a workload that gets unreasonable for three people. This isn't about JUST DirectWrite why I keep suggesting more volunteers. At this rate, them not accepting help makes me think they have something in their code they want to HIDE despite it clearly being too much for the three of them.

If I turn the extension off, it works just fine (but the dark mode is TOO dark on YT normal and I use this for the volume control and other stuff)
