    @yoasif@fedia.io If we can’t have #firefox without #mozilla, then we are doomed. Mozilla survives with google’s money and that is so fragile that don’t seem a guarantee for future.

    #ladybird is progresing, there are people in so many projects that now depend on firefox. And european funds can be used sometime in future for any project that assure enough web freedom. I think some things are changing fast. I hope it serves for reconfiguring web scene.

      I don’t really get why you think developing Ladybird will progress faster than Firefox - or a Firefox fork.

      There’s a larger community behind Gecko and it is a more complete browser. It doesn’t make sense to me that paid development would go into Ladybird over Chromium or Gecko.

      Without paid development, you don’t have a browser that stays working, so I don’t really see that as an option., sadly.

      More of an option for Gemini, imo.

        @yoasif@fedia.io I don’t think Ladybird will progress faster, but eventually could be a simpler option that would attract attention and public funds.

        The problem with google funds is a big one. And that is the seed of my caring.

          Nothing is stopping public funding of Firefox, so I don’t see it as an either, or situation.

          Would you deny Ladybird search revenues? It is an interesting question.

            @yoasif@fedia.io My point is not firefox versus ladybird, but free softwar web browser. In that regard, I see competing projects as a virtue.

            IMHO, free software funding should be, if possible, public and based on interested people/organizations, not via publicity for another big corporation.
