Even Chromium started with WebKit which itself was a fork. This doesn't mean you shouldn't be interested in browser dev but you also don't have to do a totally clean sheet implementation.

Looking back, it was kind of weird how both apple and google used webkit for separate proprietary browsers for so long.

But that's exactly my point.

This article appears to be entirely about an implementation from scratch.

It makes very clear that it is not about forking Chromium.

But even Google was smart enough not to start from scratch.

So again, I don't know who the intended audience for this article is. It's advice on something no sane person or organization would ever do.

And yet a few people are doing it. So yeah, it's advice to insane people.
