Holy shit, wow I did not see that coming at all. I've this is all I've ever dreamed of as web dev but now I'm not too sure how I feel. Edge gone, safari dying and Firefox struggling...
I wanted one web standard, not one browser engine.

    I see one tracking engine without standards.

    Let's hope they actually contribute in a positive way or else they can fuck off

    IMHO they're doing this not because they care about open source, but because it makes sense for business reasons. And I don't blame them.

    - They near instantly drop the reputation of "dah it works in Chrome but not in MS bollocks", since it's basically guaranteed to work in one if it works in the other.
    - They can maintain and add to the project as and when they choose to, and take advantage of all of Google's changes and fixes for free - making it much cheaper.
    - They're inherently making Firefox now the "outside" browser as it's the only one that won't use Chromium, making their job harder.

    Well, we saw how multiple engines worked out for a web standard. We got loads of prefixes, yay. I want more prefixes to worry about.

    I literally jumped out of my chair cause of excitement when i saw this! I never in a million years saw this coming. This is going to make my life as a front-end guy so much better!
