Like who for instance? Basically only Blink, WebKit and Gecko are usable non-toy web engines these days, and they're all backed by big companies with deep pockets and many engineers.
Opera's long gone, now it's a chromium fork. Internet Explorer is gone, now MS uses a chromium fork. The hype new browsers like Brave and Vivaldi are just chromium under the hood.
It's like the difference between making a Linux distro and maintaining a full OS.
- saagarjha 7y agoI am responding specifically to the claim that Mozilla is short on resources because Google has a thousand people working on Chrome.
- summerlight 7y agoGoogle and Mozilla are competing in the browser market so it's pretty reasonable to compare their investments. I don't understand your reasoning here.
- saagarjha 7y agoMy reasoning is that Google's investment is massive and just because they're throwing money and people at a problem doesn't make it necessary for everyone else to do so as well.

- tssva 7y agoI'm more than pretty sure it isn't.
- celticmusic 7y agooh you're right, not sure where I got the impression it was FF.
