I might agree if it was another Chromium browser or something, but this uses its own rendering engine and thus directly opposes Google's dominance on web standards. Currently, there are only 3 major rendering engines:

  • Blink - Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, etc)
  • Gecko - Firefox browsers
  • WebKit - Safari, GNOME Web (Epiphany), and Konqueror

Ladybird and Servo (Mozilla R&D project) are new ones, and Ladybird seems to have more traction.

Engine diversity is important. Browser diversity... a bit less so.
