   There are already quite a few Chromium-based browsers (I've lost count),   
   and they all are (or claim to be) privacy-friendly, secure, etc etc. Do   
   we really need another one? How about building another Gecko-based   
   browser, just to balance things out a bit? Or help build a really new   
   one, like Ladybird? Building yet another browser on top of the already   
   dominant Chromium certainly isn't going to strengthen the much needed   
   competition in this domain.
