@drq it really is, and the fact that it's technically open source doesn't actually make it much better. It's still controlled by Google in the end. Forking it and developing completely independently would be a huge effort.

@yogthos Even its Google roots wouldn't have been a problem is the codebase itself was not as bloated and convoluted as it is now.

It's not bad a browser engine, not at all, but it's literally unmaintainable by anyone who's already maintaining it. It's become X11 of browser engines, kinda, where there's only so much people who understand how it holds together.

We need something done from scratch. We need Servo.
