are you really surprised? that bugreport did not contain a single actionable detail. and then it refers to some forum by without any real reference, name or URL. there may betruth to it, and the other issue was actually very important and ridiculous, but this issue report is a big wontfix, reopen with real details

Because its a stupid issue. The complaint is that a Firefox fork acts like Firefox.

They acknowledged the remote debugging backdoor issue and fixed it a year ago.
github.com/zen-browser/desktop/pull/927
The telemetry issue is entirely different. Their handling of that is naive at best, dishonest at worst but it is completely different from the “backdoor”.

Fair, I was referring to the referenced issue in the comments on this post.
What was surprising to me, is that there were many comments, and mentions of devs, yet no acknowledgment or getting linked to another issue.
That is a red flag to me.

What do you mean? The dev did acknowledge it and linked to a relevant discussion.
