Comment on Mozilla’s new CEO is doubling down on an AI future for Firefox

  That’s still a fork of Firefox, isn’t it? I was hoping to find a reasonably modern browser that doesn’t rely on gecko or blink. I’d be okay with a WebKit browser but I don’t have a Mac.

    Servo is the one I follow in that space

      Oh good, more rust! (j/k i don’t have the feverish hatred of rust that some people seem to)

  You really don’t understand what a browser engine is, do you?

    I do, in fact. I get that they are typically open-source, and I also understand how ridiculously difficult it is to create one from scratch. If LibreWolf or whoever want to make privacy focused browsers based on mozilla foundation or google that’s fine and I support it, but I’m personally curious if there are any mainstream browsers that don’t have any (or minimal) reliance on google and mozilla foundation.

      It would have been nice if Opera had released the source code of Presto

      I figured you did. It’s the guy you were replying to that seems confused.
