I'm not sure I have a lot of faith in Servo but we are in need of anything better than Gecko. Ladybird is the new one on the block and we will see if it goes anywhere. I like that Ladybird it's own web browser.
Same cause nowadays you have to rely on a for profit company for your browser engine.
I don't have any issue as long as there are options and the company isn't actively hostile.
true, if it was a company like suse,redhat who was for-profit and had a good browser engine then sure if its like google then maybe but for-profit companies are known to be problematic.
I think the key thing is to have checks and balances and or incentives so that a browser doesn't become just a tool to sell stuff. For instance, I hear the Mullvad browser is pretty good. It isn't independent for obvious reasons but the idea still applies.
alr
SuSE is problematic? As far as I know they released their system administration tools as open source without ever needing to, didnβt they? Theyβre for profit but seem to drive their profits on services rather selling software, as a good open source denizen. What am I missing?
I mean I was using suse as a example not saying they problematic like redhat (which had some controversy in the past ik)
Ladybird seems almost singularly focused on macOS development. They say that they intend to incrementally move from C++ to Swift
Swift is decent, one of the biggest .net (c#) people gave a talk at godotcon about whay he likes it better than c#
It works cross platform, it's just developed by apple
