        The fact that it’s aiming to be stable doesn’t mean it is. It’s still a work in progress unlike other browsers.

            well that’s because it’s kinda not trying to be a browser first; it’s trying to be an engine… let others make the UI, and ladybird can be the best damn thing to wrap that UI around… from what i understand, they have a web browser as more of a tech demo right now

              Yes, but I still don’t know why they seem to think it’s so important to write a new browser engine instead of improving Gecko or Servo. To me it just seems like people like it because they don’t know other things aside from the Chrome, Safari, and Firefox browser engines exist and just chase something new and shiny.

                that’s fair, but i think there’s space for multiple to compete… servo and ladybird have different ethos from what i can tell… ladybird is trying to build everything from scratch, as well as being completely independent (whilst servo was mozilla and is now the linux foundation)

                personally, i prefer servo just because its rust and i don’t think that independence from the linux foundation is really that important

                but that’s not to say that what ladybird is trying to achieve, or their reasons are wrong
