Bricky :PADW: on Nostr: Efforts to write a browser and layout engine from scratch, like what Ladybird is ...
Efforts to write a browser and layout engine from scratch, like what Ladybird is doing, is a waste of time. The Linux Foundation seem prepared to 'buy' the rights to the Chrome brand, with names like Brave, Igalia and Vivaldi not part of the venture.
In the medium term (6-12 months), we'd be better off looking to steward Firefox before Mozilla's funding collapses. In the longer term (>12 months) I believe Servo would be a better bet as it looks closer to a finished product than anything else IMO.
I don't think this is different to how I felt last year about the Web's state of play. Things have happened since and I feel it reinforces what I'd like to see happen.
