- jonfw 7y ago> Forking and keeping up is likely too expensive. There are no limits to the number of open source projects that suggest otherwise.
- pcwalton 7y agoThose forks of Chromium don't make changes to the core. Things like ungoogled-chromium restrict themselves to smaller changes around the edges (no pun intended).
- The_rationalist 7y agoAnd somehow it's supposed to be more efficient to totally duplicate the effort like Firefox does?
- olyjohn 7y agoIf anybody is duplicating the effort, it's Chromium/Blink/KHTML or whatever it is now. Firefox pre-dates it all by years. I love how twisted up the history of the web browser has become.
- ori_b 7y agoFirefox is mostly funded by Google at this point too. I don't have solutions, but I don't like that the web standards are fully owned by an ad company.
