I wonder how hard the last 10% will be? If its a typical software project its going to be 90% more effort for the last 10%.

Browsers have been historically the biggest and most difficult projects, so hard to say why it wouldn’t be. When they can start promising 20k bounties for segfaults, they are getting close.

They are pretty far way from that. I still think it is one of the most exciting open source projects in recent years.

Super impressive that an independent, non-corpo project has gotten this far this quickly.

Definitely... IF they keep this up, they will be a real contender by the end of 2027. I keep saying I'd like to see a similar push for Servo though... since it's probably the next most feature-rich engine option. It really needs a corresponding browser project to go along side it though, since FF/Mozilla isn't that interested.

I believe this would be Verso: https://github.com/versotile-org/verso

Me as engineer: it's wild a big corporation dictates a quality bar and limit API access for 3rd party software. Me as customer: oh man I'm sure glad stuff is reviewed to some quality bar and the OS limits API access.

Me as customer: having trouble using the likes of GitHub and Threads using the "OS sanctioned browser"

That's on nobody except Microsoft and Meta for testing against Chromium only.
