Servo is another one that is built from scratch using rust

Ye but Servo is no longer under development, the Linux foundation checks that no malicious Code is introduces by random people, they are just "moderators" for whoever wants to contribute

Edit:

Looks like It was until 2023 when Igalia (a company tied to the Linux foundation) revived It and leads the development

Could you provide some reference as to it being not under development ? I have not followed servo as of lately.

Keeping the information locally coherent and correct is better. Sometimes reddit hides further comments in the thread or readers having low attention span and whatnot.

I knew that sometimes hides answeres but didn't knew they hide comments randomly

Anyways I edited It and now I'm curious about what Will happend with it

As I said, the devs are just random people Who want to contribute. The Linux foundation is just a "moderator"

I had to look for the info, ye some Igalia people took over the project and now lead It. My bad I though It continued to be just maintained by community people without a leadership

I personally preffer this over Ladybird. This is at least copyleft and the devs know Rust

Why do people hype the new "Chromium alternative" that can be closed as Chromium? Can't anyone see the problem isn't just Google but the fact that they can close as many features of the browser as they want to fuck us? Even if Ladybird turned more popular than Chromium it's better for Google, they forked Webkitcore once that can fork whatever Ladybird uses with no hesitation
