    We got electric cars when all we had was the internal combustion engine. What a silly metaphor.

    But it’s nice to hear you admit that I was right, and that the browser could definitely still be developed. The proof, of course, is that there are dozens of web browsers out there in active development.

      Sorry I wasn’t granular enough for you I figured you’d get the whole thought - if I am not allowed to sell anything but ice cars ( can only use WebKit on the largest group of consumers) what would be the incentive for me to create one unless I can also afford to create a platform or brand to release them on (nobody with the capital to do this is going to make something to the benefit of the users)

        You’ve let your metaphor run away from you. This isn’t even close to the actual situation at hand.

          That maybbe true but feel free toTell me what is then. Developers are less interested in developing for a platform with heavy restrictions. If you have some sort of alternate take on that I’d like some of whatever you are smoking.

            It’s not my job to think for you. I already explained this more than once. You have trouble understanding it, have someone else explain it to you.
