@boilingsteam Along the same lines as the AOSP situation, I don't trust Google's stewardship of the Chromium code. So all things Blink are out for me.
While Firefox is certainly become a poor option, I still feel pretty good about its forks. I prefer privacy over performance so Librewolf(as opposed to something like Zen) for desktop and Ironfox on mobile for me.
Praying for an independent project(maybe Ladybird? Servo?) to someday become a viable alternative. Browsers are hard though.
I'm starting to think browsers are hard on purpose. Why do we need such complex software to surf the web, if in the end it leads us to monopoly and corporate take over?
@kn_fk @boilingsteam I agree and I've felt this way for a while.
I don't want to over attribute but it's definitely consistent with Google's behavior in the last decade that they would use the Blink engine's monopoly to "spaghetti" the web. Pushing web dev in a way that raises the barrier of investment for any upstart competition.
That way they can continue to pay off a foil(Mozilla) and give off the appearance of competition while closing the door on any potential future threats.
