For anyone interested, here are some web browsers that are actually lightweight (if not html5-compliant) and not webkit-based: http://www.dillo.org/ http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

You don't get it. Someone built an experiment in minimalistic UI design . "Technical people" started a massive pile-on, declaring "this is stupid, this doesn't have a minimalistic codebase at all." That's not a technical demand , and it's not identifying a product's faults. That's a demand that this project have an entirely different purpose . Personally, I use `chromium --kiosk-mode` as my everyday browser, and this…
When a experiment has a domain and a splash page, it's left behind the status of "an experiment" and gone into the realm of "a product". IMHO, free or not, it's a product, and should be judged appropriately.
It's easy to register a domain and throw some designing on the wall.

Sometimes it's discouraging to think about how RAM requirements keep going up. The laptop I bought in 1999 had 64 MB of RAM, and that was enough for a comfortable multitasking system (dual-booting between Windows 9x and Linux with a GUI) for about two years. Now, we have this, paraphrased from the 2012 novel _Off to Be the Wizard_ by Scott Meyer. Phillip, a time traveler from 1984, asks, "What on earth can a person d…
I ask myself this from time to time. It's hard to quantify quality, but I'm certain that the exponential increase of power in todays PC vs. that of a PC from the 90's is not reflected in an exponential improvement of the vast majority of software currently using this power. It seems that the more power that there is available, the sloppier the use of it. I wonder if someone already formulated some kind of law that de…

Depends on what you are counting as the "same". Edge put together a really great visualization of the API surface of all the browsers. - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/platfor... The API surface (and bug surface) is actually pretty different these days. Internally Blink and WebKit are also diverging reasonably rapidly. As a specific example here is the project to re-architect how blink does it's…
More and more it feels that corporations have discovered that with FOSS, those that do the work get to define the standard. And thus they throw manhours upon manhours of churn at whatever market segment they hope to control.

Not quite - those that employ the maintainers define the standard, as shown multiple times by Red Hat (multiple projects) and by Apple with WebKit.
IIRC, before the Blink fork, Google was pushing more commits into WebKit compared to Apple, but there was a - let's call it a difference in perspective - on a feature a Google employee wanted to implement, someone with an @apple.com email said "no". I can't remember what the issue was, but this development unfolded on webkit mailing list.

Chromium doesn't use webkit, it uses Blink.
Blink is a fork of WebKit and is still largely the same.
I know that. However, factually I'm correct by saying that Chromium doesn't use webkit. It doesn't matter if it's still largely the same, what matters is that blink diverged from webkit for variety of reasons.
