Why do most browser companies opt for a Chromium/Blink base instead of a Firefox/Gecko one? (lemm.ee)

I mean, I like Firefox, but I'd love to see Vivaldi based on Firefox/Gecko. There's Floorp, which is similar in some ways but it's more like an Edge built on Firefox than Vivaldi.

Edit: Thank y'all for your answers. :D

I want to link !@bdonvr@thelemmy.club 's post because it is a similar quesion. https://thelemmy.club/post/718914

We can go further. Just recently I saw a website that supposedly "is best viewed full screen, 800x600 or better, in Netscape"

Do you think I'll still be able to view that website after I've time traveled to 1995 to use my Netscape? This seems like some kind of paradox.

Check local and state government websites. Its gotten way less common but a lot of them haven't seen human eyes for 20 years let alone an update.

Fair point!

Link? Would love to take a trip down memory lane.

I can still remember firing up Netscape for the first time in 1994.

The only reason I stumbled upon it was because I wanted to check if the domain was available.
