Just read his news, horrible. Only Apple and Mozilla left to try to keep a counterbalance. If this trend keeps up, soon the web will require a Blink/Chromium OS to run. Google already has way too much influence on the web.
EDIT: Considering the relatively slow speed of Safari development, I would not be surprised if they also would switch their base to Blink.
- kitsunesoba 8y agoWhile it’s certainly not impossible, I would be pretty shocked if Apple dropped WebKit in favor of Blink. The entire reason Blink was forked in the first place was Apple and Google’s differing ideas on which direction to take the project. Where Google favors getting new features in at a breakneck pace and sees the browser as an OS-like platform where the developer rules supreme, Apple favors power efficiency and sees the browser as a content portal where developers can’t be trusted to work in favor of users. These two models are fundamentally incompatible.
