Chromium is fully entrenched. “strong copyleft”? Even Microsoft bent to the will of Chromium. And Firefox is just a silly thing where people like me hang on
KHTML is a discontinued browser engine that was developed by the KDE project. It originated as the engine of the Konqueror browser in the late 1990s, but active development ceased in 2016. It was officially discontinued in 2023. Built on the KParts framework and written in C++, KHTML had relatively good support for Web standards during its prime. Engines forked from KHTML are used by most of the browsers that are widely used today, including WebKit and Blink
There will be no improvement with browsers until the introduction of one with a strong copyleft license.
I’m curious, how would copyleft license improve the quality of browser development? That is really about funding and management.
Don’t Firefox and Chromium already have that?

If I remember correctly it’s under a copy left license which makes sense given it’s ultimately a derivative of KHTML.
doesn’t gpl exist? its quite strong.
