Update was from 3 days ago, I’m really hopeful ladybird could be a future browser option to help break the stranglehold chrome has over the market, while Mozilla is struggling to find meaningful direction.

It seems like an exciting project with monthly progress updates :) they keep chipping away at compatibility.

    The pro-FOSS stance would be to get your communications off of being exclusively proprietary platforms. Developer & early adopter freedom & privacy matters—but instead they are choosing Discord & Microsoft GitHub as their only platforms.

      True, but I’m not one to let perfect be the enemy of good.

        We can & should demand at least gateways & mirrors if not at least a single alternative. Considering they have funding, they can self-host to actually control a forum or chat room as well as a code mirror (even if just HTTP with no forge). Folks are also undervaluing how some users are banned from access to these US-based platforms under US sanctions.

        I mean, we gotta draw the line somewhere. Seems reasonable to not want official community discussions to happen in a proprietary platform. We got where we are with the internet because of complacency.

      Is that in the video or just your hope? If that’s the case I missed it, and that would be super exciting!

    I didn’t know they’d be able to tap into the Firefox profiling tools, that’s neat! Probably great data to have as they get into debugging of more complex websites.

      i imagine that it’s only the UI - they’d have to implement all the profiling etc themselves… but it does mean they have a framework to build the tools into, and not having to build the UI rather than starting from scratch which is a huge help

    The part with the progress graph compared to other browsers over time is especially cool!
