> Gecko is alive and well, and there are no plans to switch to Blink.
Gecko seems to be tightly bound to Firefox. Are there any plans on decoupling that and making it easily embeddable for other projects? Even MDN doesn't seem to have up to date documentation on that [0].
I purport that allowing easy embedding will allow more people to play around with Gecko, discover wildly different classes of bugs, contribute code in order to add improvements and fix bugs that they discover while embedding the project.
Given a more visible and active community around Gecko, Microsoft might've even switched to Gecko, but that's just a wild guess.
Yep, I'm talking about the equivalent for non-mobile / the original Gecko. The "embedding Gecko" documentation I posted before says "original last update 2002". That's pretty bad.
