For those who aren’t familiar with the term, it means believing something that probably shouldn’t be believed, or being influenced to believe something that’s not necessarily in your best interests.

      Yes, but the inverse is also true. Chromium derives from Webkit, and the two were maintained in close proximity for a while.

      From ordinary routes, Gecko, MSIE, and Webkit are the true “origins” of the web. Even if many considered it the worse one, losing MSIE, especially after its devs had given it a big boost in standards compliance, was a blow to shared standards.

        OK but Chromium browsers are no longer WebKit. They’ve diverged pretty far. And the root there was khtml.

        Agree on more options being good. We also lost Presto (Opera) too.
