I would take them significantly more seriously if they open sourced the browser. All of their accomplishments may be impressive but it's a moot point if they're all being kept to themselves.
- Klathmon 9y agoThey are getting there. They already open sourced their js engine [0] and some parts of the rendering engine like the WebGL stuff [1]. I remember reading that it's a goal of them that they want to open source it, but it's not an overnight process.
