But realistically, KHTML is no longer steering the boat. Is Konqueror a meaningful choice these days? Hell, even Apple isn't steering the boat with WebKit anymore. If Ladybird gets big, what stops it from being captured by a major commercial contributor? What we need to be thinking about is how to make browser components more embeddable, and I suspect the sensible target is Gecko at this point. This gives us the wedge into the market. You have the Vivaldis, Edges, and Operas of the world who have figured out market fit and their technical needs, and the goal is to provide them a compelling alternative to building around WebKit/Blink. The offer you can present them is "building around Gecko or Ladybird means you don't have to spend half your time unwinding every stupid and self-serving choice Google made". At least in the short-mid term, you're not cleaving off the people who actually LIKE Chrome, or simply download it because they don't know better, but you can at least capture that other 5%.
