Opera will Blink

Authored by: RichardB on Thursday, April 04 2013 @ 07:55 PM EDT

It seems to me that Apple is the big loser from this move. They forked the KHTML
engine, and apparently made it quite hard to backport patches. Now they are
getting a dose of their own medicine.

And why was it fine for Chrome to be the dominant browser, as long as it shared
an engine with Safari, and not now? It sounds like special pleading from an
Apple fan to me.

In the end it's pointless complaining about folks in open source projects. Just
like breakups, they happen and assigning blame afterwards is a mug's game.
What's important is where the projects go next: in sixth months time, will
Chrome have abused its new found freedom and grown proprietary extensions and
odd behaviour? It will be interesting to see.
