Microsoft has made two working browser engines: Trident and EdgeHTML. They've killed both in favor of Chromium; I don't see how it would cost them less to develop Servo than to have kept working on EdgeHTML.
- Ericson2314 6y agoI said at the time that Microsoft should have stepped into to sponsor Firefox, and make a firefox-based IE. Surely between the two of them Chrome could get some better competition.
- gsnedders 6y agoEdgeHTML was a fork of Trident, as much as they liked to trumpet it as a new chapter. A fair bit did change, but it was far from a new browser engine. (Much longer ago, they were also responsible for Tasman.)
