> At the time were KHTML was being implemented there weren't new features being released every week like we have now. In every aspect of the browser.
KHTML was being implemented in 1999. That was an extremely fast moving and chaotic time in the development of the web! Browsers were shipping new features left and right, the specs didn't describe at all what browsers really did, and if you fell behind people would quickly switch to other browsers.
Even by 1999 you wouldn't have been able to make a competitive browser on your own, and especially not keep up with the rate of change.
(In the early 2000s, after Microsoft "won the first browser war" and disbanded the IE group, everything slowed way down, though.)
