Modern users spend lots of computing time using their web browser.
Many web browsers work on Debian GNU/Hurd: Emacs' eww, lynx, Surf,
Luakit, Netsurf, and Dillo. However, users must compile netsurf and
dillo from source due to `PATH_MAX` issues. While luakit should work
for most users' needs, the Hurd does lack a modern web browser such as
Chromium, Firefox, Brave, or LadyBird.
Some years ago, Debian GNU/Hurd did support an older version of
Firefox. More recently, Sergey did manage to port and run and older
version of LadyBird. A talented and dedicated GNU Hurd developer
could port a modern web browser, but it would take a significant
amount of work. It may take a continuous herculean effort to keep the
port up to date.
