Imagine if Firefox used webkit/chromium underneath.
Would that allow Mozilla to make Firefox more awesome by freeing up dev time that was taken by servo and gecko, and now can be used to make great UI and extensions and features?
- hkt 8y agoNo, they'd spend their time pruning all the google telemetry crud out of chromium. The fact is that Mozilla's next gen stuff is going to be streets ahead of Chrome, and I suspect their efforts will be rewarded in the end.
- pvinis 8y agoI know and I agree. I was more of a thought exercise. I would prefer for Mozilla to keep doing their thing. If they were to put webkit on Firefox, and after the initial de-googling, they would start working on webkit and contribute there, or somehow merge some servo things in webkit. I guess in the end it would still take a few years until it's complete, but it is an interesting thought to me.
