I agree with the sentiment but ladybird is years and years away from being on par with Firefox. Performance, compatibility let alone extensions are far away at this point. Exiting to see the development tho.

A few people have mentioned ladybird, and I was going to say "wasn't there some problem with the guy behind it?"

Then I looked. I don't know if I just still need to look further, maybe the guy is actually somehow bad, but having a branch named "master" does not promote freaking slavery. I never bought that stupid master/main nonsense. It was never a valid argument. It's an artificially created problem. You can pick anything like the color of someones shoes and just arbitrarily declare it's some sort of crime, and then when I disregard that, you can technically truthfully accuse me of being insensitive to the issue.

The pr about he/they, that is a little weirder. I would both agree with using the word "they" outside of any other context, like if I were writing the docs the first time, and yet object to the drive-by pr from no actual browser developer or someone actually interested in the project. Mayyybe I'd have accepted the pr anyway if it didn't actually have any other objectionable things, but I also see no problem with someone else having a sort of personal policy to just not entertain every passer-by at their whim. Regardless what they say or want, good or bad.

As far as I can tell I have all exactly the same crime as that guy. The biggest crime of all which is simply not respecting ideas or people that have not earned any respect. Just not caring what someone else says and not giving them what they want, especially when they try to invoke crazy emotional hyperbole.

Fucking people.

So anyway, yeah ladybird is probably still way off, but yeah it looks good.

It was true Blender as well. No one would touch it, and it has bright future now. We gotta be patient.
