- SquareWheel 8y agoHopefully Mozilla will have some luck modernizing by replacing pieces one at a time with Rust components. ;)
- xg15 8y agoWhat do Firefox implementation details have to do with this?
- SquareWheel 8y agoThey are modernizing the browser by replacing pieces over time. That's relevant to the topic of browsers being built on legacy tech.
- xg15 8y agoI don't see how this supports to the argument that you can easily build a new, competing browser by forking. If you fork and then need the same kind of resources to replyce the forked codebase with your own, I don't see what you'd win.
