Mozilla seemingly can't help shooting themselves in the foot, but I refuse to use Ladybird given its leadership.

...Also, although this is minor, LB effectively doesn't exist, so of course it's unblemished—it hasn't had time to fuck up yet. Even the prettiest, sweetest organizations screw up in various ways. I see no reason to believe LB will be different in the real world, outside of announcements and fundraisers. Let them launch first, give them a year or two (Mozilla's been at this for decades...) before deciding whether they're fit to be Firefox Killer.

That said, I'd love to be proven wrong. Even if only to have something I could point at, show to Mozilla, and say "Look. That could've been you. Where did things go wrong, and what will you do about it?"

I don't want Ladybird to be a Firefox killer, I don't even think Mozilla will care, I just want another competitor in the browser market, and I have faith it will at least be as good as firefox and we'll see from there

It's just a lousy, metaphorical title. The real Firefox killer already exists, and its name is Chrome. I didn't mean to imply something about your expectations for Ladybird, my bad.
