@jon@social.vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net I will say, Mozilla giving up on something doesn't mean it's bad. Mozilla makes lots of bad decisions too (as well as amazing decisions). But I agree don't bet the company on Servo, I'm just curious what Vivaldi engineers think of the browser engine situation. Google basically makes all the engineering decisions for Blink, which is not great

@willrs@social.vivaldi.net @Vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net The point is really that building a browser engine requires a lot of effort and we are not able to fund that on our own at this time. Given that Mozilla has given up then the question is who would be funding the project and would it be with the level of funding and knowledge that is required? In an ideal world we would have our own engine, but that is not an option. Instead we do the best we can with what is available to us. Google is not the only company working on Chromium and over time we aim to contribute more. The interesting thing is that there are multiple large companies with massive resources working on the project. It is not just Google.
