Goanna missing?

Goanna engine is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia Goanna_(software) and with so few truly independent currently supported/maintained, it strikes me that it should be listed in this page. In years gone by, I'd "be bold" and just plonk it in there, but Wikipedia seems much more reserved these days so I'm trying to be cautious to be sure I'm not stepping on toes/doing it wrong..

Disagree for two reasons. The section in this article focuses on the engines of major browsers; the lone exception being KHTML, which is historically significant as the origin of WebKit. But Goanna is only the engine of small niche Pale Moon and a few others (and thus has no historical significance). The other reason is that Goanna is not "truly independent"; years ago I followed its development for a while, which was heavily dependent on backports from Gecko for new functionality. So it shouldn't be listed here. -Pmffl (talk) 19:41, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
