It's not a browser monoculture, it's a browser-engine monoculture. I for one welcome our new overlords.
I think it's great to have diversity in a browsers; one browser might focus on being light weight, while another might have a new spin on the UI.
But I do NOT want diversity in how different browsers render a table.
- kitsunesoba 7y agoProblem is, there are limits to how different browsers using the same engine can be, especially when it comes to matters like efficiency. At some point you’re going to have to start modifying the engine and eventually, fork it due to divergence becoming unmanageable — this is why Blink was spun out of WebKit.
- fgonzag 7y agoYou must have missed the 90s. When a single vendor mandated every new technology in the browser space. ActiveX and other pleasantries came out of those times.
