  • True, but, KHTML hasn’t been developed now for a decade.

    Iirc, the Chrome engine is a fork of KHTML as well.

    There’s also open source Servo engine, which kinda works ok for specific use cases

    And there’s Ladybird browser, the first browser with a from-scratch browser engine, it started 5 or 6 years ago and isn’t targeting its first alpha until 2027

    Those are the 2 closest to being ready for “Average Joe Usage” and they are not even close to being ready for prime time.


  • Lol, all FF derivatives still rely on Mozilla for maintaining the browser engine. One of the most complicated pieces of software to develop, and there’s only 3 fully operational ones. Chrome, Safaris Webkit and FFs Gecko. MS gave up on their engine because it was so difficult to maintain.

    Should Mozilla go full tilt enshittification and close the source or something, all the derivatives will wither and die.

    It doesn’t even need to be all that powerful since its just relaying packets as a middleman
