Yes. We are happy with what we have, we have no plans to move to
something else. There's simply no advantage and lots of disadvantages,
from our point of view. If anything, GitLab isn't usable from NetSurf.
But there is also the resource usage, the time spent administering it,
the security vulnerabilities that need to be kept on top of, and the
fact it doesn't actually provide anything we want or need.

What we're using already uses free resources.

There are lots of projects that do not use GitLab or GitHub and are
wildly successful. For example, Linux. We like the way we currently
work.

It really isn't a simple change, I can say this as somebody who has set
up GitLab in the past and knows how our current infrastructure works.

We’ve recently iterated on the names of our self-hosted pricing tiers, so Marcia and I got together and wrote this post to catch you up on the current options. We’ll explain each tier, and share how to figure out which features your subscription gives you access to.

I would like to help
by Lorenzo Miguel Tareszkiewicz Rezende
First, I would like to know somethings:
* Why is netsurf not hosted on a source public code repo like github, gitlab (OpenSource) or Bitbucker?
* Does you guys want help on webassembly implementation and javascript?
* Does Netsurf provide a api like CEF or WPE Webkit?
