In the thriving mid-2000s, there was Trident (Microsoft), Gecko (Mozilla) and Webkit (Apple forks KHTML). Presto (Opera) and KHTML proper brought up the rear. Basically three major companies/organizations.
Today we have: Blink, Gecko, Webkit. Basically three major companies/organizations. Goanna (Pale Moon: old FF codebase) brings up the rear here.
Like before, one company takes a huge lead. It was Microsoft, now it's Google. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
The only thing that's changed for me is that I feel much more protective of the work Mozilla is doing with Firefox. I consider them vital whereas before, they were an option.
Note to Mozilla: stop playing around with borderline business practices that force users to question your ethics.
