...the internet browser has to be based on a blockchain, otherwise the NGI fund won't accept it.

Source: wanted to apply with my Web Browser that is peer to peer but doesn't go with the blockchain hypetrain.

On the open calls page [1] it seems that the only open fund in the context of a web browser is the one related to search and discovery.

All the other ones specifically mention blockchain based technologies.

Or did your project get funded by NLNet directly via another fund?

Hey! NGI is funding Nyxt browser as part of the same sub-grant call. Check it out, I was quite thrilled! https://nyxt.atlas.engineer/
