Yeah, they use Blink which is a fork of WebKit and open source as well.

So I guess it is great, isn't it?



You missed the point. Your position is that there should be only one browser engine. But you're trying to use two browser engines, which are very different, to support your argument.


No, you missed the points. My major point was that we have the source code and nothing changes that. My second point was that I would rather all browser engines work the same and if they can’t then I’d rather just have one popular browser engine.

Would you be willing to give up, for example, Rust's parallelism and security for that future?

Why do you think this would work better than it did in the past, when Google and Apple tried to collaborate on the same engine and it ended in a fork?


Yes. Anything that comes out of Mozilla is rubbish.


Well, thanks for your opinion on my work!


I knew that I was arguing with a bunch of Mozilla fanatics in this thread.

Thanks for confirming your bias.

That's the exact crowd responsible for pushing stories like these.
