      I feel like like inventing the wheel every five years is not the best use of talented people’s time.

        People don’t need to build model trains either.

        The project started as a hobby. People can do what they want with their free time.

        Right now most browsers are based on an engine owned by Google with a small percentage based on Firefox, which has historically depended on Google for significant funding. Not a great situation.

        For something as important to modern life, its beneficial to have more diversity, if only to add different security flaws to it then exist in Chrome and Firefox.
