The x64.dmg release[1] requires macOS 13+, why? [1] https://web.crabnebula.cloud/verso/verso-nightly/releases
it's five years old release. Sounds reasonable or you're expecting release to work all the way back to commodore 64?

Most likely Arc ( https://arc.net/ )
Arc is based on Chromium for anyone wondering. I believe part of the UI is written in Swift but the engine isn't.
I like Arc and use it (I actually never stopped using it after the first time I opened it), but I wish they weren't building off of Chrome.

#57Have a read about Servo, it is binding with SpiderMonkey as JS engine.
Is there some chance, that servo decomposed from SpiderMonkey? If it is not, I don't think anyone can tell difference between firefox and other browser use Servo.

Ladybird very much exists. Been running it successfully in Linux for a while now.
I think they were referring to the version of Ladybird taking advantage of Swift v6. I agree in part that it is only nice idea until a production ready binary gets released; right now it is just experimental.
That said, it may not be far off at all: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/issues/933

I'm healthy at the moment and I'm still not sure I understand. Poetic perhaps, but a bit nonsensical.
Old world as in the past? Older technology? Older ideas? Bad ideas?
Blues, as in the musical genre? Or the feeling it conveys? Are we riffing on it here? Plays strongly suggests music, but the blues originated from specific cultural roots tied to the end of slavery (which is implied even further by 'old world blues').
New world, as in a better tomorrow, or something more akin to a new world order?
Hope I think I get.

Are you trying to say that Ladybird does not exist? https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird The code is here, you can build and run it right now.

Ladybird exists and is funded because the main author is an extremely skilled software developer with a background in building web browsers.
He also built a totally from scratch operating system, and built a very productive and skilled community around it, which branched into building their own web browser as SerenityOS has an 'everything from scratch' policy. How is Serenity not an interesting feat of engineering?
You seem to call it a 'toy' because of where the development is at - this is grossly unfair criticism. By your measure, is all software that isn't at a 100% finished state a toy?
