will there ever be an altenrative HTML engine?

Shameless self bump because you're all just seeing the chrome logo and assuming it's a "who uses which browser" thread

Servo?

Alternative pure HTML engine? Sure.

But standards-compliant browser? I think we won't have many options since cancerous companies like Google keep pushing for more and more intrusive and complex JavaScript APIs as part of the standard web (they call it "the Open Web Platform").

For example, look at this Service Workers crap: permanent pageless JavaScript that runs in background and can be "installed" in the browser without user interaction. It's already on Chrome, but soon it'll be in other browsers too. If you use Chrome you can see if you have any of them here: chrome://serviceworker-internals/ (because it's a very new technology, it's still not in widespread use, but wait until adoption becomes mainstream)

I think it's our only hope left, realistically. I really wish Mozilla doesn't fuck this up.

>mozilla not fucking servo up
Just take a look at what Firefox has become, Mozilla is slowly dying.
Better get used to the botnets bb

Microsoft don't even touches Trident anymore dude, they're moved to their next big thing: EdgeHTML, itself a fork of Trident.

To compete with Google, the mere utterance of such a sentence, is quite asinine and frankly, an impossibility. It should be a crime to disrupt market purity when it has been distilled to a level approaching a greatness the likes of any generation has ever seen.

Then they could open source edgehtml, but it's probably tight coupled to windows to a retarded extent anyway

To the cost of freedom

what about webkit

applelshit, and thus the inferior retarded brother of Blink

What is so bad about Firefox recently? I understand chrome is usually better, but I use Firefox for everything and never have problems.

Try using some really heavy Javascript web apps like Google docs or even just bloated websites like kayak.ch - but that's how the web is evolving. 8mb of Javascript for a hello world and Firefox isn't good for this.

Chrome has spoiled bad web developers with lax error handling and a Javascript engine which tries to execute whatever comes in regardless of it's quality.

They don't want to show the source code because it's written by pajeets.

I don't understand why you guys don't use Iridium. It has all the botnet removed and it's enhanced for security.

You put yourself in dependency of Google and the lifetime of their project. What we need isn't another reskinned Chrome. It's a from-scratch FLOSS browser which isn't backed by some company and able to compete.

If Google drops it someone else can pick up where they left.
It's not a reskin faggot. They removed the botnet parts and hardened it's security.
Nobody is going to start a FREE project because only retards like Stallman believe in socialism. You do realize most of the contributions to the Linux kernel come from corporations like Intel and RH right?

Makes my CPU overheat when reading html video, no problem with chrome.

>cost of freedom
FSF freedom is costly when those doing it for free create an abortion that I must use.
