I don’t get all the fuss about browsers. google and apple are really just trying to make sure everyone is using a KHTML based browser, out of the goodness of their heart, so it is good for everyone. KHTML is good. don’t fight against it.
Any particular reason why it’s “good for everyone”, or it just is?
Diversity and non-monopoly is good.

if it was just the rendering engine and not the entire base browser, removal of the APIs from chrome needed for ublock origin wouldn’t be that big of a deal.
