> a Webkit/Blink dominated monoculture is bad

Gecko exists.

Furthermore, having many browsers using Webkit, Blink, and Gecko isn't "bad," and calling it a "monoculture" is a weasel word attempting to link it to the problem of IE's dominance in the 2000s. The problem with the 2000s IE monoculture wasn't just that it was a monoculture, it was that it was closed source, stagnant, and mostly single-platform. Webkit, Blink, and Gecko aren't.

There is one Web, yet browsers handle it differently. I'd very much rather have a monoculture in browser rendering engines if that's what it takes to make things just work consistently.

But this software is vapor.

If you are running forwards slower than a treadmill is taking you back, are you advancing?

How is this vapor? Vapor is something that doesn't exist, not something that hasn't been released yet.

Perhaps "vaporware" was meant, but this browser has only been known for two months (I think), and is presumably in heavy development.
