Look, Another AI Browser

Genuinely curious - what do people want to see from a new/different rendering engine?

The web is crazy complex these days because it is an entire app platform.

The incentive for anyone building a browser is to use the platform that gives you the best web compat especially at the outset when you don’t have enough users of your app to be able to make big changes to the platform. Even Chrome didn’t start from scratch - it used WebKit!

The Chromium community has built an excellent open platform that everyone can use. We are fortunate to be able to use it.

I think Google has proven with their recent actions concerning android that they really can't be trusted with big, critical open source projects.

The Play Store services are not a critical open source project, though. The AOSP is still intact and maintained in accordance with the licensing.

The application signing backtrack is an issue, but more of a political problem than a technical one. America's lesson here has been written on the wall for years: regulate your tech businesses, or your tech businesses will regulate you.

Where is the source code for AOSP 16 QPR1?

Where are the security patches of the past couple of months?
