Yeah but is it Elon&friends who will get to buy it?
The optimist in me hopes not, but only time will tell.
If he does i hope he tanks it so badly that it loses a huge chunk of market share - ideally when ladybird is ready.
Is ladybird some FF replacement?
It's a completely built from scratch browser https://ladybird.org/, very exciting.
There's also https://servo.org/ (was mozilla but now linux foundation), but it seems to be going slower.
Sadly, Servo more or less halted when Mozilla laid off people in 2020. It only really started back up in 2023 when they secured new external funding. That said, I don't think Servo intends to be a fully-fledged Browser like Ladybird. While LB intends to be a car, Servo plans to be a great engine, but only that.
...on the other hand, Ladybird's lead dev seems like trouble. So maybe I'd rather wait for a Servo-based browser instead.
I think you'd like to keep an eye on Verso.
Can't believe I forgot about it, already starred and waiting to see where it goes. Thanks.
