A de facto "standards core" in #browser engines has helped. We've achieved that via open sourced engines. NOW is the time for competition.

@mollydotcom I'm a bit worried that the "standards core" is always webkit though.

@jwajsberg Yes, and variants thereof. Vivaldi is based off Chrome so you do end up with a bit of legacy but the best of Blink, etc.

@mollydotcom yeah, when I said "webkit" I also included "Blink" :)

@jwajsberg Hahaha. I think of it as Blink containing legacy Webkit. Not the other way around. Maybe I'm just that optimistic? ;-)

@mollydotcom or maybe I'm pessimistic :p

@jwajsberg I don't disagree with your point, but I do feel we've reached a better time with a de facto common core and can improve upon it.

@mollydotcom for example blink does not implement latest spec for flexbox, but Firefox does. Yet people file bugs that Firefox is incorrect.

Replying to @jwajsberg
@jwajsberg The main problem with that is then folks think it's Firefox's fault when it isn't. For a dev, it's deadly to not know browsers!
