- charcircuit 18d agoIt's easier maintaining a fork of Blink than an entirely different engine. Google being the primary maintainer doesn't mean that browsers can't make large forks. >work on other browser engines is not duplicated or wasted. How is having N engine developers implement some new addition to the EMCAScript or CSS standard for each of their engines not duplicated work?

Maintaining a fork is not fun as taking patches from the origin repo becomes more complicated the longer the fork exists and the bigger the divergence becomes. > How is having N engine developers implement some new addition to the EMCAScript or CSS standard for each of their engines not duplicated work? It would be duplicated only if they all maintained, say, a Blink fork.
