Knowing that LLM’s have been extensively trained on public code, I wonder how much of it is based on Chromium or Firefox.

That's a good question! You can read through the entire source code for the latest version:

https://taonexus.com/publicfiles/jan2026/171toy-browser.py.t...

it doesn't look like it would be easily derived from Chromium or Firefox, because this code is Python and those don't use Python this way.

By the way is there any feature you'd like to see added to the toy browser? The goal is that one day it's a replacement for Chrome, Firefox, etc. It's being built by ChatGPT and Claude at the moment. Let me know if there are any feature ideas you have that would be cool to add.
