As I understand the situation:
Mir borrowed code from wayland and this comparision does not make too much sense in light of that.
Most likely some patches to wayland would be enough to get what they wanted - instead now we have more fragmentation.
- akmiller 13y agoBut the same comparison could be made about Chrome and Chromium, no?
- nsmartt 13y agoNo. Google supports Chromium, and Chrome has proprietary additions. I do wish Chrome didn't exist, but I'm not convinced that this comparison works.
- ergo14 13y agoBut chromium and chrome do not lead to duplication of efforts: Chrome is basicly Chromium + addons - and chrome devs contribute to chromium - they supplement eachother.
- RyanMcGreal 13y agoChromium/Chrome are based on Webkit (forked into Blink since Chrome 27), which in turn is based on KHTML/KJS. Chrome was built in large part by former Mozilla engineers, and Mozilla Firefox itself was built based on the browser engine open-sourced by Netscape as its swan-song gift to the open web.
