The UnUsual Suspect Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The CometBird development team regret to notify our loyal fans that development of CometBird will officially be stopped effective immediately. As users are aware this browser hasn't been updated in some time and there has been a lot of speculation as to why and the most credible explanation seemed to be the constant need for the work to be duplicated due to the release strategy of the source code from mozilla, but also a factor is that all popular browsers now offer things like centrally stored bookmarks and other options that made cometbird unique. The developers did initially plan to revive the project but unfortunately this won't be possible. We thank all those involved in development for their work over the years, many of us have enjoyed using this browser and it will be missed. For those still using it we recommend switching to Firefox Browser http://www.mozilla.org/firefox The Cometbird website will be updated to reflect this in the near future.

yhmegarig_2000 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 We can always have some users come over at Palemoon. It's updated with the latest security fixes and active. One question about the browser: Why is it still advertised on the main page? Shouldn't it be taken down? I come here through cometbird.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Users have requested it remain available, the team just doesn't have the time to keep up with development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR4875 Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I know this is a old thread but I just wanted to know if CometBird will become open source so it can continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
