Ladybird, the browser from SerentityOS, now has a non-profit behind it! The guy in the video is not Andreas, but Chris Wanstrath (former CEO from Github), and he's pumping some financial backing into this non-profit.

I for one am happy we're getting an alternative to the Chrome/Firefox duality we're stuck with.

I for one am happy we’re getting an alternative to the Chrome/Firefox duality we’re stuck with.

Anyone serious about that would be sending their money towards Servo, which resumed active development since the start of 2023, and is making good progress every month.

I would say nothing but "Good Luck" to other from-scratch efforts, but It's hard not to see them as memes with small cultist followings living on hope and hype.

What makes Servo a better bet than Ladybird? Who backs it?

[–] BB_C@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago

There is a YouTube video in Servo's homepage.
The first minutes of that video answer your question.
