We really need more browser engines floating around.

As of now we really only have 3, Webkit, ~~Firefox~~ Gecko, and ~~Chromium~~ Blink.

Everything is based on these 3. And I know, technically chromium and firefox are both based on webkit, but they're so far gone from webkit they function as their own engines.

tbh i think it would be better if there was a single collaborative engine instead, owned by a non-profit company like The Linux Foundation

maybe the W3C could establish their own but idk if they even do anything these days
