i disagree. in my opinion we don't need more browsers. what we need is a single browser/platform where companies and individuals can compete while developing various features.
think of it like this: instead of a browser vendor implementing a feature and then the rest playing catch-up, that same feature will now be available for most users, no matter who has developed it.
edit: spelling
- stjohnswarts 8y agoIt's a good thing that you don't run the world then :) . I prefer choice to dictatorships. I certainly don't want google to be my dictator because lazy developers want it easy :).
- Yoric 8y agoWhat you say would definitely work for front-end features – the kind of things that could more or less be implemented by extensions already. It would not work for back-end features, such as WebVR or WebAR, for instance, or WebPay, or WebGL, or wasm. All these features need low-level support and low-level patches that only Google may decide to accept or reject. For the moment, Google doesn't seem overly interested in WebVR/WebAR, for instance, so it doesn't seem that any of the Chromiumlings will be competing on that field.
