I feel like we just went back 20-30 years but MS Windows has become the modern Web browser.
- It is totally controlled by big corporations.
- It is very expensive to reimplement.
- You kind of need it to take part in the world: open and edit an Office doc correctly (but you can also be a freak and use LaTeX if want)
- Using a Webkit/Blink based browser is like a dual boot or VM running Windows. Firefox is our Wine/Crossweaver
Whatever you think about what happened to Mozilla recently, it is gonna go downhill from there. At some point their engineering is gonna start to really suffer and the quality / security will become a concern. Maybe Librewolf will make some patches, IDK.
I am starting to find the Web really boring (to use and develop for). I am tired of proving that I am human by clicking for 2 minutes on images of buses and bicycles.
I hope something cool like this [0] happens soon because I am pretty sure all the cool kids will rush to it.
