@vkc Having lived through the Internet Explorer years, at the very least I care about there being more than one.
Using Linux as my daily driver I still needed to dual boot Windows because many web sites only worked in Explorer, and because I needed to make sure that any web site I developed worked in Explorer. And that was just one of many troubles caused by the Explorer monopoly.
@vkc Yes, and I wish I didn't have to.
@vkc I indirectly care - I care that there remains more than one viable engine because I don't like what could happen if one company or entity wound up with too much control of web standards.
@vkc I care about my browser code base a lot...not just the engine.
I want more diverse code bases powering web browsing so we're not all just using Chromium.
@vkc I care about my browser engine mostly like I care about my fridge. I have to think about it once in a while, but I expect it to work well so I can stop paying attention to it
@vkc I care about that, but also the overall diversity.
@vkc I care that it is not chromium?
@vkc Yes and... is the Manifest v3 fiasco part of Chromium's browser engine or just the wrapping program's extension engine? Asking to hit the "yes" button harder ;-)
@vkc What do I answer if I don’t *want* to care about my browser engine but very much do because websites target engines now instead of standards?
@vkc i wanna know the take of someone smart, so, is servo really a thing? can we have a little hope for once?
@vkc I don’t even understand the question
