Should I be excited about Ladybird Browser ? (lemmy.world)

I hear it’s the first browser in a long while to come with a new engine. Completely independent and no revenue model. To me that would work well for privacy but I see no mention of privacy as any benefit. In fact I don’t see a privacy policy anywhere !

Is a goal of the browser to be telemetry free ? Should I as a person who cares about privacy be showing any interest?

My understanding is that they have no intent to violate user privacy, but they're also not going out of their way to protect it. The goal is to have a completely independent browser, everything else falls second to that.
