This might be sustainable for a couple of months but Google will keep on developing chromium with the assumption that those APIs aren't available and maintaining and back porting patches will not be sustainable in the long run. And we've seen Opera and Edge shying away from too much work with their own webengines, why would it be different this time?
- trefefev 7y agoIt’s gonna be different when people leave chrome. The public followed the tech crowd into using chrome in 2008 and the public will similarly follow us out from using chrome in 2018 (yes I haven’t used it in a year and couldn’t be happier)
- ralphstodomingo 7y agoI'm not sure how the architecture of these browser projects work, but is it too difficult to stub out the non-existent APIs in their forks? I'm hoping it's different this time because this is a topic people care for... but I can only hope.
