What is the point of a new browser engine? What will be the advantage over WebKit/Blink/Gecko?
Sure it “isn’t monetized”, but nothing stops you from making non-monetized forks of chromium or Firefox. And nothing stops company from forking Ladybird and monetizing it, either.
Hopefully new independent voice in the questions of platform features, development and future.
Google could do pretty much anything with the platform if it were not for Apple and iOS. And that's a big if because if they align on something it will get to the platform.
Firefox unfortunately seems to be infected by Silicon Valley people that seem to be quite obedient to the status quo.
Ladybird is at least developed by people from all around the world.
