Can someone please build an independent, relatively full-featured web browser based on @servo?

It's long past due for @mozilla to have some real competition that is not Chrome in a trench coat.

@rysiek

I’d like a billion euros and about 50 to 100 million per year for uh ongoing indefinite opex

(This is almost certainly an underestimate)

@rysiek making a browser is incredibly fucking expensive and the users aren’t there anymore, they are in mobile apps

@rysiek ok I mean, the difference between a hobby/small project and building something that even a single-digit percentage of people who currently use browsers would use is huge.

Just reaching parity with firefox as it is today is a big undertaking, and growing from there is tough

@szbalint my guess is reaching parity with firefox is not actually necessary. Pretty sure there's a bunch of ancient cruft that can be dropped. Question is, which.

Doesn't make the problem not-difficult, of course.

A different set for each user 😜
