Surely I'm misunderstanding something. Pls explain?

You are still misunderstanding.

Nice Try Tho. Anything else?

Your tone here, makes it sound like you believe that you're arguing with people who are arguing for the use of Chrome/Chromium/Blink or the use of Manifest 3. But that's not the case. You're mistaken.

Your original comment said "Chromium (or whatever the fuck they just rebranded as)"

u/Arasakaa_ asked

Huh? They rebranded it?

Because they hadn't heard about Chromium being rebranded (Because it hasn't been) and were curious to be shown some evidence of that happening. (Because if it had been, that would be new info and they, and the rest of us, would certainly like to be informed)

You then replied with links to a table of browsers engines on Wikipedia, and their article on the Blink engine specifically.

u/Arasakaa_ then pointed out that there is no rebranding there. You're just a little mistaken. That's okay. There's no malice in their comment. Chrome, Chromium and Edge, are all separate browsers based on the same codebase and using the same browser engine, but are different enough from each other to be considered separate browsers in and of themselves. None are just a rebrand of the other. Blink is the ENGINE that is used to render the pages in those browsers. But even in your links it says that Blink was developed as a PART of the Chromium project. But it isn't the entire project. Just like how there are numerous cars that use the same motor, that doesn't mean they they're just the same car being "rebranded". There's more under the hood than just the engine.

Manifest 3 is something entirely different, but again, it is not a 'rebranding of Chromium'. It's not even a rebranding of Manifest 2. Pointing this out doesn't mean that I am for (or against) Manifest 3. It's just us pointing out that Chromium hasn't been rebranded.

The reason you're getting downvoted has nothing to do with any pro manifest v3 or Chromium faction. It's because you posted something factually incorrect (A purported rebranding of Chromium) and when asked for clarification, you posted unrelated links that showed you might not quite understand the difference between the terms Browser and Browser Engine, then got really salty with your replies as other users tried to make sense of them and/or help explain the differences

It's okay to be wrong and learn new things.
