Comment on There are so many game engines, why are there so few browser engines?

Comments

Yes. It's much harder to make a browser engine.

Why? Simply because browsers need to be compatible with literally millions of existing sites. While game engines only need to be compatible with it's own current major release.

If we could drop all the baggage of current web technologies and build a new browser engine supporting new APIs, then it would be easy (comparatively speaking).
