2022: Bun was introduced by Jarred Sumner. It quickly gained attention for its performance, leveraging the JavaScriptCore engine from WebKit. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

WebKit is a browser engine, a part of the software which, under the hood, makes an internet browser function. Apple's Safari browser uses WebKit directly, and then there's the Chromium-based browser family, which uses a previously forked version of WebKit; so browsers based on Chromium, such as Chrome and Edge, use something which was once WebKit, but has had years of development making it different in some ways.

Exactly the same as JavaScript engines. Be it Mozilla's SpiderMoneky, Google's V8, Apple's Webkit, or Microsoft's Chakra. No matter how specific we draft a specification there is always room for interpretation. Every team has a different take on what part of a spec is describing. Oftentimes it's just a matter of varying pros and cons of different approaches on the road to matching spec; various teams just kind of... Source: almost 3 years ago

Because both Safari and Gnome Web uses WebKit, but if you are a website on internet and have to guess who is using WebKit, what browser will you guess, Safari or Gnome Web? Source: about 3 years ago

I have been using https://helium.computer/ as a sane default of ungoogled chromium and I like it a lot. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

Chromium still has MV2 support in the extension loader as of the current state of the Chromium repository at https://chromium.googlesource.com/. This means that both Microsoft and Google have elected to disable support at build time and alternative, good, Chromium based browser like Helium (https://helium.computer) still support it. (as a matter of fact Helium still uses it out of the box for mitigation against... - Source: Hacker News / 17 days ago

It's kinda like ungoogled chromium with some defaults and opinions baked-in, the website explains better https://helium.computer/ Totally agree with you that is yet another fork with some privacy added on top, which is why I'm still not satisfied as a consumer with the market. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

Ungoogled Chromium (https://ungoogled-software.github.io/) will 99.9% likely patch MV2 back in if they remove it (as there's already support and they will never remove it) and Ungoogled Chromium based Helium (https://helium.computer/) ships with uBlock Origin by default. And then there's still Firefox and all of its forks. Best of luck to Big Tech as people will move on elsewhere. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I would recommend folks check out Helium (https://helium.computer) it’s fast, basically just ungoogled chromium, and has full support for ublock origin. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
