Very cool project! I also find it curious that they are sponsored by a real estate site (:
It seems there is zero c++ in their web engine (cannot clone their repo right now and github is spitting raw json while browsing their source code with noscript/basic (x)html browsers). Is this true?
No, it's basically all c++
I guess I'll stick to links and/or lynx and/or netsurf.

Ohne Makler sponsored the project with 10k USD to make their website render correctly in Ladybird, it was covered in one of the browser update videos last year[0]. [0]: https://youtu.be/xdVOdrWuzLQ?t=147

small group of lazy front-end people? i think you actually mean a small group of chrome developers single-handedly deciding how web should work, while having the vast majority of the market share to push those decisions.
No, I blame it on front-end people. I've seen them putting all effort on eye-candy while ignoring that the page only works on "retina" display and then only on Safari.

Google's control of the internet is exaggerated. Amazon is not dependent on any web browser to reach clients, they can just launch their own app and be done. And yes, they can do it all platforms. How is Instagram dependent on whatever Google decides? How is Facebook, TikTok and Snapchat? How are streaming platforms dependent on Chrome? Big businesses with a ton of users easily launch their own apps to sidestep Chrom…
I can guarantee that if a bank website stops working in Chrome they will be instantly working around the clock to fix the website!

Then there are raccoon digging through dumpsters for free code.
I find this mindset (why aren’t you working on something that benefits me, Bender) rather toxic.
Seems like they're involved in many browser technologies, and other technologies.
It's been so inspiring to see him and his crew of hackers build a new, independent browser from scratch. I must admit I didn't think it was possible on this small scale in terms of man hours and funding. However, the thought has also crossed my mind if we're finally seeing fruits of browsers being better standardized on "95%"+ of the popular features -- and if writing a browser today is in fact easier than both writi…

It is not any easier, because we still have a monopoly running the show, only it's not called Microsoft anymore. If anyone threatens Google position, they can literally throw money at the problem, invent some overcomplicated standard, implement it in Blink, and have the competition chase them. It doesn't need to go through W3C either, if it works in Chrome, all web developers will adopt it and any smaller engine will…

Love Andreas Kling and the Serentiy OS project. Hate that he's only on Twitter. Mastodon seems like the perfect fit for his audience.
I dunno, he's pretty committed to his positive utlook on things. Mastodon seems to be the far angrier place in comparison to Twitter. Twitter used to be a lot more like that, but it seems like most of the angriest people on twitter moved ot mastodon when Elon took over. It's (IMO) very pronounced and hard to avoid on Mastodon.
