Gregory's Server@martenbjorklund Vivaldi is yet another Blink-/Chromium-based browser. If Firefox dies, it will take Gecko with it, so the only up-to-date browser engine will be under Google's control, and I don't see a replacement for that on the horizon. Also, Vivaldi is only freeware, even though it has open source parts, it is proprietary. Doesn't sound like an alternative to me. 😕

@martenbjorklund Right, the organization behind a software project matters, and the organization behind Blink is Google. What could Vivaldi do to wrestle control over Blink out of Google's hands? @Kev_Prime @bwana @martenbjorklund @ploum It's even more staggering when looking at the absolute numbers. I don't think any other company or institution could possibly maintain _this_ code. |
@bwana @ploum Once again, the organization behind a software project matters more than the tech, right now.
If we support the people with the right intentions and they grow, hopefully they can do more about the tech.
