Gigi (nprofile…s2s2) jack (nprofile…zj6n) You guys might like this talk about a new browser being developed called Ladybird.
The dev makes an interesting point that there are only 3 distinct browsers that don't just wrap someone else's browser engine: Chrome, Safari, Firefox. Google spends $2b / year on Chrome, Safari takes $20b / year from Google to be default search engine, and Firefox takes $500m from Google for same reason.
**There is no browser that isn't funded by Google ads.**
Ladybird is targeting alpha release in 2026 and general release in 2028 with no funding from Google, and no web code from Google (maybe share encryption libs etc), and a budget that's like 1/1000 of Chrome's budget.
