Is every browser just a chrome clone?

 No.1021428>>1021431 >>1021601

Firefox, Safari, Edge, Internet Explorer are not clones of Chrome. You are retarded.

Firefox

Safari by Apple...... Pull everyone who works for apple out of their homes and hang them, with their families and pets.

Edge, Internet Explorer........Microsoft........as above.

Chrome....google.... as above.

If that's all it takes to become a Chrome clone, then your idea of clone is pure shit.

>>1021426 (OP)

Most are, because browsers have gone from being document viewers for html web pages to the most convoluted application platform ever conceived.

>>1021431 A clone means that a fork of a source code of a specific software. A clone doesn't mean their policy.

Lets see:

>chromium

Yep

>vivaldi, brave, opera

Yep

>firefox

Yep

>edge, ie

No, but in a bad way

>safari

No, but its only on macs

>palememe, waterfox

No

>st

No, but you get a safari clone instead

>dillo, links -g

No, but you get half a browser

>>1021439

Firefox have been chasing chrome for a while. Eg electrolysis - was chromes big feature when in was originally released. It took mozilla a decade to implement it because of how shit their code was. Web extensions, supposedly better than xul/xpcom - literally just chrome extensions. Australis, which they've admittedly gone back on - literally just chrome shaped tabs. Dumbing down the settings page and adding a search bar - where have I seen that before? At this point, the only thing that differentiates firefox and chrome is muh web freedom - which mozilla surely doesn't give a fuck about.

>>1021521

False. Clone means a piece of software that lifted liberally from another. Forks generally aren't even considered clones, but I include them for simplicity.

Except for Firefox? Yes.

Countless independent browser engines (iCab, Arachne, Omniweb, AWeb, NetPositive, Voyager, etc.) died years ago

Opera's engine died in 2013

Internet Explorer/Edge engine died just last year:

There is literally nothing else left.

>safari isn't a chrome clone

Safari and Chrome are the same largely indistinguishable source tree, derived from Konqueror, with the vast majority of code constantly shared between Google and Apple.

>Firefox have been chasing chrome for a while.

True but that's all fluff at the browser rather than engine level, and can trivially be fixed by forks. In fact, by far the greatest problem with Mozilla right now is the one feature Apple/Google have that Mozilla hasn't since 2011: The ability to embed Firefox's engine inside other programs, completely separate from Firefox. Although, Palemoon has the reimplementation of this embedding functionality as a low-priority goal.

>At this point, the only thing that differentiates firefox and chrome is muh web freedom

No, it's the fact that Firefox's engine (and Servo's, for the future) is a completely separate codebase, implementing the HTML/CSS/JS specification in a completely independent fashion from Chrome+clones.

Imagine for a moment what happens if Mozilla throws in the towel, and there is only one single implementation of WHATWG's "standard"? Remember there hasn't even been a testbed reference browser/editor like Arena/Amaya for years. It would be completely impossible to specify standard features separate from Google/Apple's source tree, likewise rendering it impossible for Google/Apple to distinguish between implementation bugs and poorly specified/documented features.

If Firefox dies, the web is permafucked.

furrymeme is a true fork, so no.

watercuck is just a wrapper over SJWfox, so yes.
