    Closed source (or proprietary software) means computer programs whose source code is not published.

    It’s not closed source, since the source is publicly published. It’s source available.

      Source available is closed source by the OSI definition, which is what is widely used and understood. The “closed” in closed source doesnt only refer to source visibility but also the freedoms upheld by open source.

          Since it is source available, it isnt open source and therefore closed source.

          Edit: we obviously have different definitions. I did not mean to argue over semantics. I would personally never trust a browser with proprietary code, even it is source available.
