They are practically the same thing.
Technically not really, I just said WebKit to avoid breaking down the whole fork situation in my comment. Blink isn’t that different in reality so, WebKit for simplicity. Safari and Chrome are much closer to one another than Firefox is to either, so 🤷♂️
I mean… yes? If you’re saying that Chrome sucks now, then why would you want to switch on some platforms but not others?
There are a ton of other WebKit/Blink based browsers to choose from! Safari, Vivaldi, Brave… not to mention good old Firefox and Gecko!
It is excellent by global standards, but has suffered in recent years from setbacks. So while it’s better than almost anywhere else (besides maybe Switzerland, Austria and Japan), from the perspective of someone living in Germany, it’s declined of late. I think this explains why you often hear negative comments from Germans but positive from others.
Are we assuming we’re allowed to use defines and templates? 😏
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at this one…
Forking a repo is not the same as developing it. Any idiot can rehost the existing source code, but all the developers with knowledge of the code base and project just got axed by Nintendo.
I miss regular old web forums, mailing lists and that sort of thing. Discord / Slack / etc have zero discoverability. The ability to google your question is gone, and knowledge is ephemeral, when a chat is the central source of community.
I dunno. It may have been on the table at one point had they continued to work towards improving infrastructure and combating corruption. But once Erdogan turned autocrat, that door was closed.
