You guys are the culprits. You love chromium right? And chromium is from google. And have you stopped for moment to think why chromium is free and good? Because Google wants you to get addicted to it. Google wants you to not feel comfortable with other browsers such as palemoon, librefox or Firefox. Once the majority of users use chromium, more and more websites will only work for chromium. And now Google dominates the web with its WEI thanks to majority of users who uses chromium. Web is not open anymore to begin with. It's dead since chromium took over.
Before chromium Apocalypse, there were many browsers engines: presto (opera), msie, gecko, goanna (palemoon) but now 99,9% of browsers are Chromium.
Google is very smart, give them free product with great features (chromium) and when the product takes off, subjugate the users with proposed standards such as WEI, FLOC etc.
Google never give a damn about users. Chromium is free because it is only tool for web domination
Am I allowed to add WebKit to your list of engines ?
