- sroussey 6y agoMicrosoft could fork blink just like Google forked Apples WebKit which was forked from KHTML. Likely in < 5yrs.
- hinkley 6y agoHas Apple done something that makes forking WebKit (today) no longer a viable option?
- gsnedders 6y agoWhen Google forked WebKit, while Google was landing more commits in WebKit than Apple, it wasn't an overwhelmingly huge gulf. Today, in Chromium, Microsoft are a very small percentage of commits. Google still accounts for over 90%. If Microsoft wanted to fork Chromium, they'd need to vastly increase their investment if they wanted to keep up with Chromium.
- sroussey 6y agoThus the 5yr remark.
