    The W3C (The body that dictates web standards) specification, that describes what browser engines should handle, like CSS features, HTML5 etc and how is equivalent to thousands of pages long and there are huge standards to implement.

    HTML5 is a big thing to implement, so is CSS and the JavaScript engine and probably even more technologies I’m forgetting

    And that’s just implementation, it takes even more work to get them running well enough for the average end-user

    Ladybird has been working on their from scratch engine for ~5 years iirc and they’re not planning to even have the first alpha out until next year lol

    It’s a monumental effort really, building a browser engine from scratch and taking it to daily driver usable is probably among the most difficult programming challenges. It’s way easier to build a new Linux kernel from scratch than a browser engine lmao

    Even Microshit tried and gave up because it was so hard








  • Yes and no, this topic comes up fairly frequently, and generally…nobody knows the best solution forward LMAO

    piefed.social is a Lemmy “competitor” and is intended to be fully interoperable, but in practice it hasn’t matured yet and it’s interoperability with the Lemmy-verse is decent but has its quirks

    But a big thing there is they have a multi sub type feature to combine comms like that

    But some people also like the multiple comms, because they can have different viewpoints and culture.

    Like lemmy.ml is a huge Tankie instance and their c/memes comms moderation skew towards censoring of comments and posts critical of Russia/China/NK and allows political memes

    Where as c/meme on .world have banished most political memes directing them to !politicalmemes@lemmy.world instead
