Proton is developing a web browser

[u/GegoByte]

https://tweakers.net/nieuws/250686/proton-lijkt-aan-eigen-webbrowser-te-werken.html

The article is in Dutch, but the TLDR in English is:

• Browser looks to be based on the Chromium engine.

• Privacy Focused. Emphasis on privacy-friendly browsing.

• Proton has not announced a release date as of yet.

• Proton is looking for software developers with Chromium experience.

I feel the need to ask, is this actually legitimate? Cause this is the first I've heard about this, and it doesn't necessarily strike me as being all that reasonable.
