    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.
