> Some peple are doing that[1]. It's not a matter of desire, but of the amount of effort and resources required to build and maintain the insanity of the modern web stack.
People say that, but i don't think that's true. The web stack was always insane, the only difference is its documented now. I think now is a much easier time to build a web browser than the past was.
Not to mention the irony of complaining the web stack is insane while insisting a really difficult to support feature that never saw much use should be kept forever because reasons.
> Eh, no. Google Chrome won because it is backed by one of the largest adtech corporations with enough resources and influence to make it happen
Google won because nobody else really tried.
Firefox has been a dumpster fire of bad management decisions and has reduced itself to basically just copying google's every decision sacraficing any unique identity of its own.
Safari is never going win when it is mac only and apple doesnt seem to fund it very hard.
Most of the rest are just chrome reskins that dont deserve to be called a separate browser.
Maybe something interesting might come out of ladybird. Its still quite early to tell.
- built on a very solid foundation from the start (it started out as a webkit fork), and was generally a good fast browser. This is the very minor part
