I don't see what advantage this will possibly offer over just using Blink or WebKit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (3 children) anything that takes market share away from google and google controlled platforms. As it is, google effectively owns the internet, and that's too much power for any single company to have. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] FizzyOrange@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (2 children) Yes but why will it take market share away from Google? I can't see why anyone would use it. It's going to be slower, less well supported and not even any more secure. Servo at least has potential upsides: better security and performance.
