    Good. WEI is a bad proposal for many reasons. I still can’t fathom why so many browsers use Chromium as their base nowadays though.

    On another note, what is up with the thumbnail image for this article? The article doesn’t mention anything about Alabama’s awful attorney general. Hmmm…

      There aren’t a lot of options for browser engines if you don’t want to spend forever playing catch up while writing your own. My understanding is that Gecko, which Firefox uses, isn’t as easy to build on top of. The idea with using chromium is that you can focus on building a custom ui or fancy new features without worrying about web pages rendering incorrectly.
