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? ;-)

@jwajsberg Well, together we make a full glass! That can't be bad :) Cheers! And so happy to see you tweeting, well and safe.

@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 one of my problem is that nowadays developers optimize for blink, and for its specific behavior and bugs. Just like IE earlier.

@mollydotcom there are also a lot of different behavior around reflows, performance..

@jwajsberg Agreed. Documentation is key, education is key. I don't want a single-engine world, that would be problematic IMO. Coordination.
