It actually exists and is being developed for the last three yeras. But you have to compile it by youself. Just a way to prevent people from having expectations, but a lot of modern sites are working in it. Some errors, a bit slow, but they have rendering engine, css parser, js implementation and are working closely with w3c - they have found some bugs in the standard since they are implementing it directly.

Great and useful project, I don’t know if it will become real competition to firefox and chrome, but I guess it will get traction. A lot of people want new browser, some of them have money.

I always wondered why they haven’t been doing it from the start, seams like it is not as simple as I imagine.

People will take it, there is no other option and G is working hard not to allow another video platform.

Problem is ads they are playing are awful and loud. We will make way to silent them and black them out, it is not hard.

Bigger problem is content they are pushing is getting bad and is pushing creators into burnout. And I don’t want to see videos companies are creating, but want individual contributions.

While title is click bite, they do say right at the beginning:

*Right now, it is pulling through only because of Microsoft’s $10 billion funding *

Pretty hard to miss, and than they go to explain their point, which might be wrong, but still stands. 700k i only one model, there are others and making new ones and running the company. It is easy over 1B a year without making profit. Still not significant since people will pour money into it even after those 10B.

If they were not aware of it before buying then it is illegal.

I just checked and my account on lemmy is 3 years old, I was waiting for all of you. At moments lemmy looked like it will take of by it self, but last few months was pretty quiet. I hope this is the push this community needs to succeed.

Reddit got too big for my taste since digg joined in, I don’t think this will kill it ( they have the data how many people is using it outiside official apps), but let’s make space out of it.
