tbh I'm more excited about Servo.org. They're also developing a fully independent browser engine and are funded by the Linux Foundation. Ladybird has corporate sponsors, so I'm a bit hesitant. But the more the merrier I guess.
Has something changed recently? Last time I looked at Servo it was just an engine, not a full browser. The servo project wants others to use their rendering engine to create browsers and use it as an alternative to Electron.
That's true, but they have a prototype "browser" you can download from their website. And I'm hoping for a fleshed out version in the end, either from them or someone else.
