And then there's Chrome...



What are your objections to Chrome? Chromium seems like a reasonable project and everything that's not in Chromium seems to be pretty well Google specific and probably shouldn't be in Chromium IMHO.


which is 99.99% open source (Chromium), and forms the basis of several competitors to Chrome?

compared to the openness of Edge/IE, Google are saints with Chrome


> (Chromium), and forms the basis of several competitors to Chrome

Chromium was based on Webkit which actually came from Apple (and who forked it from KHTML from the KDE project). It's not Chromium that's the "basis" of competitors, it's Webkit that was the base.


By that logic, KHTML/Konqueror should get all the credit. But AFAIK V8 (which most of those forks use) also has pretty much nothing to do with JSCore.
