How to contribute

Otter Browser is your browser. Because it is free software (GPL v3), you can contribute to make it better. New contributors are always welcome, whether you write code, create resources, report bugs, or suggest features.

The browser is written primarily in C++ and leverages powerful features offered by the Qt5 framework.

We also use JavaScript for interacting with rendering engines (when native APIs are not available) and Python 3 is our preferred language for creating tools to ease development.

Have a look at the open issues to find a mission that resonates with you.

We use Transifex to translate Otter Browser.

To stay informed of Otter development, bug fixes and new features, you can join the official forum. We also have two IRC channels on Libera.Chat: #otter-browser (international) and #otter-browser-pl (polski / Polish).
