Description Annie H. 2023-11-12 08:45:14 UTC

It would be good if the package description was more open about this being a version from 2013 and maybe also a post-install message advising the user to be careful with what they use the browser for, as it is a quite old build and therefor most definitely a security risk if used without caution.
