- PaulHoule 1y agoI want to see: (1) an open source privacy first web browser engine funded by the EU and (2) EU to mandate interoperability in "chat" and video conferencing applications.
- charcircuit 1y agoChromium is already a suitable open source browser engine that a privacy focused browser product could be built on top of.

- jopsen 1y agoForking it and setting up the CI for all tests, monitoring performance regression, etc -- no thanks. Having worked on Firefox CI infrastructure years ago, it's a huge and complex setup. As I recall back then it was >100 compute hours per push. Fork it and keep synching in from upstream, sure that's easy. But are you an independent browser?
- hello_computer 1y agoweb is bursting with abuses. euros like to regulate. if they regulate & enforce-away the abuses, the browser could be made far far simpler.
- int_19h 1y ago> EU to mandate interoperability in "chat" and video conferencing applications. reply I rather suspect that this would come with mandatory encryption backdoors.
- megous 1y agoNo, I don't want EU tech VC oligarchy. I just want to avoid big tech SaaS regardless of where it's from. I've been quite happy with smaller local services for a loong time. Started using them in 2004 when I got my first website and aside from short try of gmail when it was still free, always used them.
