Look at these sponsors! I wouldn’t use Ladybird in 1750 BC.

    Non-browser companies I don’t like are sponsoring a browser engine alternative so they don’t all end up getting hosed by Google’s lock-in.

    As long as the end result is what I want I am alright with jerks I don’t like footing the bill if our separate self-interests are momentarily aligned.

    This is a wait-and-see for me.

      Sometimes its fine. See: Linux
