With what? Maintaining the other browser engine is not that monetizable.
- staticassertion 6y agoNot that monetizable? See my initial post? Google absolutely monetizes the hell out of Chrome, in areas they compete with MS (O365? GSuite?).
- solarkraft 6y agoGoogle monetizes the hell out of Chrome, the browser. Google doesn't monetize developing Blink/Chromium. Since Edge only uses that part they don't really have to care about Google's monetization and do their own. If Google stops Chromium development or goes the wrong way at some point, which is inevitable, MS will have to step in, but until then it's free real estate. They can build all that proprietary stuff with Chromium just as well, so why should they choose Firefox?
- staticassertion 6y ago> Google doesn't monetize developing Blink/Chromium. I disagree here. Of course they do. They could not monetize Chrome successfully without: a) Having huge amounts of control over the direction of the web b) Having a best-in-class browser that people want to use If IE had every feature of Chrome with regards to management and monetization it would still not matter, people do not want IE. If IE were a drastically better browser than Chrome, they would. Choosing Servo gives them an opportunity to leap ahead of Chrome in areas they care about.
