Very excited to see more improvements with V8. I am worried however about how good google chrome is and how it completely dominates in some markets. I hope that Firefox can continue to improve (Quamtum is great!) and stay relevant especially since Electron Apps are popular and it’s not certain that some day they won’t include Google telemetry.

Chakra seems decent too. And aren't V8 and Chakra both open source? Does Google improving V8 increase the size of their moat?

V8 improvements also benefit NodeJS, and they also contribute to it, I think.

I use both Chrome and NodeJS and will take any speed improvements they make.

It certainly increases the size of their influence.
