> Google has a lot more incentive than Apple to make the fastest engine

What are those incentives? I see no incentive for Google to make something fast.

A significant part of Google’s business (Ads, YouTube, Workspace) runs inside a browser, so if the web is slow, Google loses money

And the faster that a page finishes rendering on an iphone, the faster that the cpu can idle, which hugely benefits battery life. That's a pretty strong motivation on Apple's side. I don't think the proposed motivation on google's side is stronger.

What are the marginal gains in business for them from the likely improvement of the runtime? It's not like the web (or: web-technology-based apps) don't capture a lot of time already.

Faster page load times increases engagement with the web. More engagement on the web leads to more engagement with Google's ads.

[lionkor]

I don't agree. Page load times do not matter when everything is so locked down that most people don't even know there's an alternative.

But this was always true. True for last 40 years.

What’s changed in 2026 that will motivate Google to overtake JSCore?
