Okay, why say "web browsers are hard to make, you need a huge budget to do so" instead of

Chrome wasn't built in a day

?

@faho websites that only work in chrome are collectively The Chroman Empire

@faho Chrome wasn't, but Edge (Chrome edition) probably was

@faho on FreeBSD build servers, we often have that problem:

Chrome doesn't finish building in a day (and a half), the build job is killed, and there's no update.

@meena OOOhh I wasn't even thinking about compilation.

I was thinking development!

@meena @faho Does the linker get killed because the build server runs out of memory?

@faho If this also implies that the Chroman Empire will fall one day, it's even better.

@scanlime... do you believe the romans were the good guys?

Because I'm not calling this a good thing.

@faho i don't see how the joke works unless you want to conflate "chrome" with all "web browsers"

@scanlime Chrome has had a fuckton of work poured into it, and competing with that requires a huge budget?

That's why Chrome's hegemony is so hard to beat, which is why "everyone" but Mozilla has basically given up on making their own browser from scratch

@faho i don't know why folks dismiss firefox already?

@scanlime I... I don't?

I use it?

It's just that Chrome has the overwhelming market share, so it is the thing to beat?

Firefox is somewhere at *maybe* 10% (discounting mobile entirely because that's a broken ecosystem).

@faho sounds like you're looking for a technical solution to a social problem then

@scanlime @faho dude, you should get some fresh air, it must be hard to breathe with your head lodged firmly up your ass.

Instead of "web browsers are the worst case of scope creep and hypertext documents were never meant to be Turing-complete"?

@faho I dream about modular web browser made in Unix-like philosophy.

@didek @faho @humanetech
#web
I dream about a modular #browser engine too often.

The hardest part is to make a community-driven #javascript engine that for example can be dropped into webkit or at least into node or deno.

I wonder if it is splittable into making/adopting a #wasm machine and making a js JIT compiler into wasm.

There is also KJS but i wonder if it is actually usable now.

@faho Can't you make a technically functional one in a day?

@faho Perhaps they will say this when it takes more than 24 hours to compile!

@faho And the way diversity in the browser market is waning, you could even say that

All roads lead to Chrome.
