Genuine question: if the end goal is an open web and user freedoms, how essential is having a diversity of browser engines?
If building/maintaining a browser engine separate from Blink and WebKit is a lot of effort, is that the most important effort for the community to invest in? Or are there other ways to influence the web that are higher value/lower cost?
I’d love to learn from anyone’s thoughts. I would request for folks to keep the discussion respectful.
