Rendering engine

[SJAnstey]

What I suggesting is something quite radical.  If Firefox continues to lose market share to the likes of MS Edge and Chrome, the answer is simple.  Change the rendering engine from the current version of Gecko to the current version of Chromium (Blink maybe?) or Webkit (As used by Apple).  Microsoft did it and they are reaping the benefits of such a change,  So, why not Mozilla?

what happened to my comment?

@Windows_Vista, likewise. I just posted a response to you, but it's not even visible at t5/premod/moderationitemspage/tab/unmoderated.

@RokeJulianLockh Yeah, I've seen the Y Combinator post. Yes, I know some parts of Servo were merged into Gecko back in 2017 with the Firefox Quantum project, but that still doesn't change anything, it's still Gecko. The pre Quantum project was forked into Goanna for the Pale Moon browser because I think the creator of Pale Moon hates Rust or something. I got off topic, but Gecko is still the same old, dying browser engine. They need to let go of the past and fully embrace a brand new codebase from the ground up, which is Servo. In 2025, there’s no point in remastering an old, dying browser engine, they should stop getting distracted by their mature browser engine and focus solely on the new one!
