From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is pretty big if it has a completely separate browser rendering engine to the two remaining families, even if the feature set is small.

The more current alternatives we have, the better.

3 remaining families, WebKit, gecko and chromium

There is also Ladybird :

Ladybird is the only browser engine not financially dependent on Google.

It is early days but already becoming usable. I use it to browse sites like OSnews, Hacker News, and LWN.net and it already works pretty well for those.

Thanks for the reminder!

I shouldve specified "major" families

I was counting WebKit and Blink (Chromium) as cousins, both descendents of KHTML, but maybe they've diverged enough as to not easily be able to borrow from each other any more and it really is three.
