Standards are dead the moment there is one rendering engine. It doesn't matter what W3C says it only matters whst Chromium does. That was the status quo we had with IE6.
That's the point of having multiple browsers. You took one of the strongest arguments against a browser engine monoculture and made it into an argument in favour of browser monoculture? We've ALREADY HAD browser monoculture and it resultee in the death of standards.
- mariushn 7y agoMy thinking was that Mozilla could have a significant market share (30%+) through a better browser, therefore having a say in standards. It would also implement and adapt the Mozilla Chromium branch in its best interest. Vs now having Google do whatever it wants as most people use Chrome anyway.
- TheOperator 7y agoHaving 0% control over the engine limits their influence inherently. Maket share of the gui wrapper would give them control over... themes? Extensions? I also think Firefox would be less appealing without Quantum.
