It has been interesting to see so many reflecting at the same time about the current state and the possible future of web browsers - even if it was fired up by some bad news from Mozilla.
Still, it is important to acknowledge what is and has been going on - how a web browser currently became a lot more than just a piece of software implementing a number of open standards, how they are all basically based over one of two existing browser agents (Gecko and Webkit) with the emergence of two upcoming ones (Servo and LibWeb); the difficulties of creating or maintaining a new web browser, or how dependent are all firefox forks (or older, harder derivatives like SeaMonkey) of Mozilla (both Firefox and Gecko). I'm not trying to get to any point with this text, but rather to highlight that now is the time to have a few conversations around open standards, and in particular web standards. And as it happens, the "annual day" to have discussions of that sort is around the corner: Document Freedom Day 2025 is already in the 26th of this month. So why aren't there more events on the map? How is your community, user group, etc. going to mark and celebrate this day? Organize something, and put it on the events map, right this way: https://digitalfreedoms.org/en/dfd -- Marcos Marado _______________________________________________ SFD-discuss mailing list -- sfd-discuss@mailman3.com To unsubscribe send an email to sfd-discuss-le...@mailman3.com
