I don't really care for the language. But why is it following the GTK UI language ffs. Every gtk only gets worse.
> Ladybird has a new Linux frontend built on GTK4 and libadwaita, sitting alongside the existing Qt frontend This is in addition to the already existing Qt frontend.
As noted by other authors, there does seem to be a wide surface area for attacks so, security remediation does seem to be a top-of-queue thing to be handled.
All in all, keep up the good work!

In what way is it crippled?

Ladybird has a close relationship with FUTO which is a pretty oddly behaved private for-profit company ran by a bored multi-millionaire. https://drewdevault.com/blog/Whats-up-with-FUTO/
Didn't realize FUTO was connected to Eron Wolf, which connects to Curtis Yarvin, which connects to Palantir. Great...
> It’s inspired by GNOME Web (Epiphany) So basically, it will be useless. How many use epiphany please? That thing has been so extremely ineffective. It's like 1999 (not that everything was bad in 1999). > follows GNOME’s design guidelines: no menubar, a hamburger menu Oh. my. god. So Ladybird worships uselessness now. Also, GTK progressively gets worse and with GTK5 they will (try to) kill of xorg-server too. Some p…

Independence is great, but I'm curious about features. Will Ladybird have any built-in ad blocking like Brave? Useful tab management? Dark mode?
I think they have dark mode already.
> Human Rights Foundation ... “AI for Individual Rights” program That sounds quite dodgy. Ladybird doesn't have AI, why would such a program support its development? But even before that: "Human Rights Foundation" sounds like "The Human League" which George makes up in Seinfeld as a fake charity. And promoting AI as a "human right" is quite suspicious. If I had to, I might be that this is something backed by one of t…
a household name (the HRF), to me
Here’s the CIA billionaire running it (I kid!) but ya HRF’s president: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thor_Halvorssen_(human_rights_...
Unlikely to be USA govt if they’ve defocused soft power activities eh?
I really like what SerenityOS is going for, and hope they can maintain that focus in the Ladybird browser.
And ladybird does not even support SerenityOS anymore.
