      I'm struggling to reconcile it too. The Safari-only situation on iOS has never felt good, but I suspect an issue many of us have is that the 1 engine that stands to dominate is run by a company w/ powerful business interests. It'd be different if we had say, 1 w3c-managed engine

      For all intents and purposes, it's Google's browser. React is open source. It's still a FB thing.

      I'm not sure I agree with this take. MS can contribute or fork if they dislike Google's direction (certainly they have resources). Other people can fork it. Look at what Preact does. Open source makes a relevant difference here, I think.

      When 70% of the market uses a tool owned by a corporation who's interest in browser making is "track users for ad purposes," this argument falls apart. Google IS chromium, and controls its direction. Edge is more-or-less a Google Chrome fork with some shitty MS features on top.

      "owned by a corporation" I don't buy this premise and that's why I don't agree. If I did, I might by the argument. I don't think open source can be considered owned in the relevant way. Think MS is going to be all-in on this.

      When MS starts contributing back into the project with the same level of vigor as Google, AND when they're interest in doing so isn't tied to their own ad-revenue or business interests, come back and let's chat. Until then, these browsers are literally business lines for orgs.

      Same with Brave. It's a company who gets you to pay bitcoin for content authors without even telling them about it. Their motive is profit. Firefox needs some work on the JS front, but their motives are different as a nonprofit.

      MSFT is investing a *ton*. Many, many, many patches thus far, and ramping up fast -- as you'd expect in a large OSS codebase. Have volunteered analysis tools, presented at BlinkOn, are improving many layers of Windows integration, etc. etc.

      Do you know if any/how many MSFT employees have a commit bit? (I don't know the org structure for Chromium at all, I'll see if I can find a page which documents it)

      Commit bit comes after *lots* of patches, and it's ramping up. Still early days.
