Monopolies don’t require 100% of a market. Just enough to effectively manipulate a market.
One firm might only be 10% of a market. But if every other firm is only 1-2%, that 10% will have an outsized monopolistic ability to manipulate that market.
Why not just say Rust? There isn’t really anything else that would provide good enough performance for a browser engine with modern heavy webpages while also fixing some major pain point of C/C++
Zig didn’t come to my mind when I was writing my comment and I agree that it’s probably a decent option (the only issue I can think of is its somewhat small community, but that’s not a technical issue with the language).
My argument against Go and Java is garbage collection - even if Java’s infamous GC pause can apparently be worked around with a specialized JVM, I’m pretty sure it still comes at the cost of higher memory usage and wasted CPU cycles compared to some kind of reference counting or Rust’s ownership mechanism (not sure about the proper term for that). And higher memory usage is definitely not something I want to see in my browser, they’re hungry enough as is.
And here we have a clear example of how Chrome’s almost monopoly is a bad thing for us.
Not almost monopoly.

I hope an opensource, non-C/C++ browser will pop up that can claw back from Chrome/Chromium. It’s about time.

Go is not an option? Zig neither? Even Java would be better (it’s used in high-frequency trading) than C++.
Rust is not the only contender.
