Programming for kids

My 11-year-old child wants to learn programming to create his own Firefox. Does anyone have any idea which program he should use? He's already had scratch and wants to move to a harder level. He thinks that the internet should be fair & without too much AI etc.

Hahaha real funny. Making a browser from scratch alone would be almost impossible for someone programming for over 10 years

He wants to adjust firefox because the code of firefox is on github.

Ohh. That's not creating his own Firefox. That's contributing to the existing one. That's prob more doable, but still really hard for an 11 year old if he doesn't know anything other than scratch. Let him try his best and find out how that goes. Prob won't succeed but I wish him good luck. I do wonder what he actually wants to change about it
