🚨BREAKING: Ladybird Browser, that Titanic of the tech world, is now jumping ship from C to Rust with AI's help! 😱 Apparently, they couldn't quite Swift-ly leave Apple behind. But no worries, because Rust is the knight in shining armor that everyone pretends to understand! 🦄

Ich habe gestern in der c't (lese diese immer in der örtlichen Bibliothek) einen Artikel zum Ladybird Browser von Mats Schoknecht gelesen. Den Artikel gibt es auch auf heise online aber hinter einer Paywall so das ich Ihn hier nicht verlinke.
Schade finde ich jedoch das kein Wort über die teilweise problematischen Einstellungen von Andreas Kling verloren wird:

Klar man kann sich jetzt darauf berufen das man einfach "nur" den technischen Aspekt beleuchten will, wenn einem das von journalistischer Seite aus reicht.

@desirable_dialogue I just wrote about this, although not created by the tor community there is an early development browser with an independent web engine called Ladybird Browser, the lead dev believes in white genocide and supports dhh (see links below) but this is the only other web engine I know of other than chromium and firefox and the apple one maybe it can be forked.

Like I say in the link maybe the solution is to write websites for a simpler protocol than Http at this point like Gemini or Gopher or to just use a reduced html featureset so as to be compliant with reduced html featureset browsers that are more realistic to maintain without capitalist investment

Ladybird is a browser project in pre-alpha development that uses a brand new rendering engine not the chromium engine or firefox engine

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladybird_(web_browser)

I think this will be interesting to you if you saw that firefox is adding AI features into firefox and threatened to remove manifest v2 in order to bring in more revenue (something that chrome removed which disabled a lot of ad blockers) [1]

Librewolf also exists and I've heard from several people its a very good replacement for firefox but it still relies on mozilla existing to maintain the costly web engine

edit: looks like the head dev of ladybird touts white replacement and had a tantrum about someone replacing the word "he" with gender neutral pronouns somewhere in the project [2]

pick your poison maybe we should just simplify web standards to perhaps make them easy to maintain again, maybe we should revert to a much older version of html, maybe Gemini (the protocol not the large lying machine) is the answer [3] lets make website crafting fun again

Goddammit. I was so excited about the #Ladybird Browser project.

Turns out project lead Andreas Kling has a lot of braindead public takes about pronouns, Charlie Kirk, and white replacement in tech 🤢

I'm not touching that anymore until he's replaced and they put in place a proper contribution policy and code of conduct.

That leaves us with @servo and Flow Browser. (Anyone have any damning news on those? 😨 )

Thanks to @sir for pointing this out.

@davidrevoy it might take some patience, but the @servo project is working on building what's needed, to develop a browser based on #ServoEngine:

Via #LadybirdBrowser I found #PolarSh, which looks great, because we really needed a replacement for #bountysource .

@[email protected] is endlessly entertaining. His most recent video where he prototypes a #JIT compiler for Ladybird's #Javascript Bytecode is fascinating.
