Is this true? Why shouldn't Chromium-based browsers be able to maintain V2 indefinitely?
- ghusto 3y agoMy guess is because the company making that browser would then have to maintain (and patch) those parts of the code once Google stops supporting it?
- toyg 3y agoBecause it's not like it's just a matter of commenting out a line with "if (version > 3){ explode(); }". The whole point of v3 is that it disables a ton of features and extensions points, changing a whole bunch of stuff in various places. Maintaining parallel v2/v3 compatibility will likely be an ever-increasing burden on Chromium forks.
