Nice to see the V8 and FF team working together. And preventing FF from falling behind on features is good.
On the other hand, the more dependent Mozilla is on the Chromium base, the more power it gives Google (even if at this point Google already acts like they own the internet and do things that break in FF at will).
- ldeangelis 6y agoI agree, but in the article, it was mentioned that the V8 team already wanted to make their RegExp engine more independent. Also, since Mozilla runs of limited resources, it's great that they will have less maintenance to do in the future.
- nerdponx 6y agoHopefully we start seeing more "modularized" browser components. It's a huge detriment IMO that we are stuck with 3-4 (depending on who you ask) monolithic browser engines.
- LockAndLol 6y agoI honestly don't understand why Mozilla went the route of a monolithic and firefox-only browser engine. They had a lead before Chrome showed up and refused to cater to devs. Now they're paying for it and so is everybody else.
