Why can't they just fork Blink like everyone else? A new rendering engine is an unnecessary duplication of effort and ripe for security issues. I don't think the open web is really as dependent on the browser anymore anyway. We already have multiple choices today, but the web is still mostly controlled by a huge big companies and nations. Doesn't feel particularly open. A new browser engine won't really solve that. Meanwhile a million dollars could go towards some network R&D or popularizing Freenet instead. The world doesn't need a dozen HTML renderers. If we actually want a free and open web, that's a infrastructure and content censorship/algorithmic promotion issue, not a layout engine or JS engine problem.
