  • Well, it’s nice the developement of a new independent engine, but I’m old and not sure to see the first stable and usefull release of it. The engine is by far the most complex part of the browser, with the need of an big team to develope it for several platforms (even linux distros are not always compatible one with another)

    Nowadays Blink is the most advanced engine, because nobody else than Google has the infrastructure and the amount of devs working on it, even with the power to modify web standarts. This is at the same time also the problem.

    Yes, Chromium is 100% FOSS and everybody can modify and gutting it to his like, but always depends on the update releases from Google. The only solution is an independent Chromium team and community.

    A new browserengine would change nothing, because it comes 20 years late in a market of nearly 80% Chromium in an web optimized by it, like dozends of other indie browsers with a handfull users each or even abandoned out there (eg Otter and others) even the grandfather of Blink, Konqueror with the KHTML engine by the German KDE, forked by Google and Apple.



  • This is the main problem, changing the infrastructure in companies which use Windows, Certainly Microsoft EU is way more privacy focused (forced by law) than Microsoft US which use even keyloggers and sharing data with Towerdata and a lot of others. But this, even so, companies and administrations use more and more alternatives to Windows apps and services The EU has tons of good and even better alternatives to those from US corps, it’s not a tecnical problem, but an political and burocratic one for companies and administrations to change, not so for the normal user, who can easily change his setup to his like from a huge catalogue of EU soft and services.
