Today's popular browser engines have deep roots in KHTML, which was originally built for the open-source software KDE. I guess we all own a big thank you to the KDE project.

I'm missing Gecko there.

And then I'd like to claim Chromium : Firefox == Windows : Linux and ask:

Oh, do we? Do we also owe QDOS a big thank you?

@wonka @nixCraft If we are talking Gecko, we also need to mention Goanna …
Show threadWilfried KlaebeOct 9

@benbe Why? Browsers using Goanna do not even show up in (for example) https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/157944/umfrage/marktanteile-der-browser-bei-der-internetnutzung-weltweit-seit-2009/

@nixCraft Gnome wouldn't exist if KDE didn't exist and hadn't been written with Qt. It's only because people bitched out about the Qt Library that Gnome exists.

I do like gnome better. Didn't care for that license either :p
