- le-mark 9d agoThat’s interesting, anyone have more info on how why this came about? The why is pretty clear at least.
- nicoburns 9d agoIt came about because US sanctions on Huawei mean that they are unable to make contributions to any of the major browser engines which are all controlled by US entities.
