Q1: given that all browsers support non-standard functionality (e.g., CSS attributes not ratified yet, etc) - how will you decide which non standard specs you’ll implement and which won’t?

(or will you just use Chrome as a reference spec and implement anything it implements?)

Q2: what is your “guiding principle/mission”? Is it to be the fastest browser? The most privacy centric browser? Etc?

Super excited for you. Wishing you the best in this and hope you change the world for the better.

I am a bit confused by the question. Why wouldn’t all commonly used defacto standards be supported? Or are you talking about obscure standards which no one uses?

Any browser that doesn’t display normal websites normally will never achieve mainstream usage. Who willingly handicaps their software?

There’s websites decided to pointing out which standards various browsers do & don’t support.
