    No, keeping up with new web standards, security, etc. is a full time job. It’s not something volunteers can keep up with. At that point, it may be better to just give up and build on top of Chromium.

    In addition, without enough market share, websites will not test, let alone optimize for your browser. This is already causing issues for Firefox. Smaller browser engines stand no chance.

      And if Firefox changes to a chromium browser, I’m out. I’m here to support independent browser engines, beyond that, I don’t care much about Mozilla.

        Good luck. If Firefox changes to Blink, that’s it. Gecko won’t last long without the Mozilla Foundation footing the development bill. You get WebKit and Blink, nothing else.
