@mark@mastodon.fixermark.com @ki@chaos.social @johl@mastodon.xyz They could also… write a new rendering engine. I don't known shit, but 90% of Mozilla revenue is from Google, and the whole Webkit development team at Apple is also paid by Google. They literally have billions of dollars but acting like if they had budget constraints.

@bohwaz@mamot.fr @ki@chaos.social @johl@mastodon.xyz I don't think the constraint is money, I think it's time and complexity. Google thinks of the cost of code not in terms of how long it takes to write, but in terms of the amortized cost to maintain it forever. The best code is code that gets removed is a common refrain.
