how can you be so sure?
Ladybird is quickly shaping up.
See Brodie's interview of Andreas Kling, the lead developer of the Ladybird Browser: https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/IXdBndEipps
There are several clips of the interview on his channel if you don't have time to watch a 2 hour interview.
As for something taking place of the Mozilla Foundation itself, their activism in influencing web standards isn't really enough anymore anyways. They are silent about fingerprinting, which their main source of funding engages in openly to track users across devices.
I don't trust ladybird's dev. he is vocally against a minority, calling their existence politics
Source? I read that there was an issue with gender neutral pronouns not being used in the codebase (he stated that he has no problem with gender neutral pronouns), but I'm not a simp for him or somebody to argue for lesser evils.
Edit - finally found it: https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814
awesomekling commented on May 2, 2021Not the best look for him, but if this is all the meat to your accusation, then I am going to have to disagree with your statements of him being "vocally against a minority" and "calling somebody's existence politics" - it seems like a stretch as nothing was said that targeted a minority or calling somebody's existence politics. Was he being needlessly pedantic and insensitive to a contributor whose only contribution was that PR? Yes, I'd say so.
The use of gender neutral pronouns or pronouns in a more general sense are not politics, I strongly disagree with him. It was his choice to die on this hill in this instance, but they now use gender neutral pronouns. Again, if there is more evidence besides this singular statement, I'm all ears. Is it still concerning? Of course.
