      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.

      I'm all for overthrowing capitalism, but it seems a heavy ask for discussing the merits of browsers.

      Chrome is a wonderful, very capable browser whose primary purpose is to spy on your browsing habits for profit, and whose rendering engine Google has primary control over. This should not be controversial, and it should be fairly obvious why a monoculture around it would be bad.

      The inability to separate Chrome-the-browser and Chromium-the-project is deeply problematic in this coversation. Until/unless folks here learn to make a distinction, no light will come from this heat (whatever your view).

      I appreciate that they're different but would love to know more. Is there a good reference on how chromium's direction is steered independently of Google's priorities?

      You’re right, and I’m sorry for my role in that. For you, is the desired end state “every browser uses Chromium and/or Blink,” or something else?

      I don't want engine homogeneity, but I put a higher value on the web not dying. So it's a question of first vs. second-order values. My ideal is healthy competition *with* timely feature availability. I think that's long-term possible.

      That's fair. Do you feel the web is "dying" though? I sure don't.

      At current course and speed, the web will be strictly desktop-only legacy tech in very short order. Users spend *much* less than 10% of their time on their phones on the web, and falling fast. The web is on track to be the next mainframe -- essential, but invisible and stagnant.

      We are facing ecosystem collapse. Major players have seen to it that browser choice doesn't matter, and that means competition can't fix what's broken about their substandard products.
