@EdCates @dazo @graves501 @theorangetheme not everyone has ensuring a balance in html-engines as one of their top priorities when choosing their browser. Not sure why this is giving you headaches. Especially in today's world where there only are 2 usable browser engines and both are connected and depending on companies that are not exactly trustworthy. Firefox and chromium might be open source, but let's be honest, there isn't a community that could maintain them independent from Mozilla and Google. Would I prefer if there was a Opera 12/Vivaldi like browser with a third engine? Sure! For all the issues it caused for me I loved presto and I hope one day someone builds something of that type around servo. But also keep in mind: Mozilla killed Gecko as a standalone product, there is a reason why we only have lightly patched Firefox variants and not a single truly different web browser using Gecko nowadays.
