#2The more browser engines, the better. It doesn't use neither Chromium nor Gecko.

#5Hello friends! I am very excited about this indeed :)
If you’d like to know more about Ladybird, I did a presentation about it at the Web Engines Hackfest in Spain just two weeks ago: https://youtu.be/De8N1zrQwRs

#6For more context see [1].
At first glance I felt that 100k wasn't really going to move the needle in creating a new browser engine but in fact (after reading the link below) it's not insignificant. There are a lot of contributers to this project, and funding the project lead is a big step in the right direction.
Realistically another browser engine really isn't needed. 2 is enough. Given the scale of the work involved it'll take a lot more than money to make this mainstream.
Bur that doesn't mean it's not important. These sorts of projects have value beyond main-stream use cases. While those uses are small, they can end up being significant.

Congrats Andreas. What you are building is incredible, both from a technological point of view but also for education and inspiration. That influence you can spread for me is the thing that is most exciting about the project!

Whenever I see your stuff it is always so cool. Im also glad to see everyone still going at it years down the line. Now that there is decent money to back it up it so much better!
Party on!

Thank you! The sponsor has asked to remain anonymous for now. There are no strings attached, although we do stay in touch. :)
