Agreed, they still have a long road to travel before they are a true alternative to other browsers and engines. But I think it is good that there are genuine efforts in developing alternative browsers and engines. Ladybird browser is even further away from a mature product, but also an example of a project I am glad to see existing.
I’m not sure if Ladybird is further away. Ladybird is seemingly targeting pretty relevant standard pieces and seems very far along in comparison from being a mature project.
No, they are pretty far away as far I understand it. Based on various tests available to see how far along a browser is with specific standards.
Also makes sense as Ladybird is a much younger project, even with the hiatus in development with Servo.

I’m exclusively referring to my personal experience of playing with these. Ladybird can render (with errors) quite a few sites including Wikipedia where Servo fails catastrophically.

There's probably some kind of tragedy of the commons, where nobody thinks they should be the one funding this stuff. I also believe there's the impression that making a brand new browser with an engine written from scratch is not realistic, so why found one? Fortunately Ladybird might have changed things on this front.
Well, this managed to make me feel enough shame to throw $5 a month at them
Shame can be a very positive emotion like this :)
It is usually a signal that there is something we would like to change.

It feels like Ladybird is going to reach "the last 10% of work takes 90% of the work"
