Chrome and Firefox are absolutely gargantuan in terms of their functionality and also the decades of fine tuning.
Building a new browser seems akin to building a Saturn V rocket.
To be practical at all you’d have to lop gigantic trunks of functionality off it.
- niutech 3y agoIf by web browser you mean web engine + chrome, than it is a big task, but notas big as Saturn V. Have a look at Netsurf, Ekioh Flow. Their teams are small, yet still capable.
- samwillis 3y agoI'm not sure I agree with this metaphor but it's too tempting not to propose: Labybird/LibWeb is to Chrome/Blink as Saturn V is to SpaceX Starship... Not sure where that puts Andreas, hence my hesitation.
- KRAKRISMOTT 3y agoMaybe you mean the SLS (or Rocket Lab) instead of Saturn V
