Ladybird is certainly interesting to watch, it’s improving quite quickly.
I know people on here hate it because of one (admittedly not at all nice) gender issue in the codes comments but like… seriously?

I actually recently had a discussion about this very issue and came to see it as a case of poor communication, rather than anything mean-spirited on the devs’ part.
Why is ladybird chaotic good when it’s not even out yet
Neither is Servo.
Chaotic good because it’s an entire (almost functional) engine built from scratch, and without any corporate backing.

It’s been said before, but Ladybird (and their OS) are made by someone who’s two steps away from having a glorious TempleOS style mental collapse, so I will personally fight in the Mozilla trenches.
Info on this? He seems pretty reasonable from what I’ve seen of him.

So your entire spiel is based on one interaction, extrapolated by… what, vibes? Feelings? Aren’t we supposed to be the objective and rational ones?

Nevermind, I misread it and thought you called the code of Ladybird stupid.
Webkit as well?

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.
SuSE is problematic? As far as I know they released their system administration tools as open source without ever needing to, didn’t they? They’re for profit but seem to drive their profits on services rather selling software, as a good open source denizen. What am I missing?
Where’s KHTML? The O.G. GOAT.
Why is QtWebEngine considered evil?
It has much less features than Gecko or Blink
I guess thats a shame, but not evil
It’s effectively Chromium.
It’s the other way around. KHTML begat WebKit and Blink, then we got QtWeb.
Wdym chromium is open-source
Blink has the dominant market share, though, and by a long way. It’s almost a monoculture.
Gecko has almost as big share
Isn’t it chrome based?
I didn’t know that
Both Blink and Gecko are equally good. Others suck
I’m gonna need some names because I only recognize like, two.
Going from lawful to chaotic, good to evil, we have:
- Gecko (Firefox, Seamonkey, and derivatives)
- Servo
- Libweb (Ladybird)
- Links2 (as well as ELinks and other forks)
- WebKit (used in a lot of stuff, namely Safari and GNOME Web)
- Goanna (Pale Moon and Basilisk)
- QtWebEngine (Konqueror, Falkon, and qutebrowser)
- Blink (Chromium, Brave, and derivatives)
- Trident (Internet Explorer, old versions of Maxthon, old versions of Avant, and any homemade browser created with Visual Studio).
Huh, I didn’t know MSHTML as used in IE was also called Trident. I thought Trident was specifically early Edge before they switched to Blink.
The Edge engine before Blink was called “EdgeHTML”.
khtml deserves to be in the gift to humanity category
What the fuck? Safari is neutral???
That is Webkit, not Safari. Lots of things other than Safari use it.
Lots? Really?
Blink is based on Webkit too
Right but they’re being treated as different things in this context.
Yeah, TBF it’s just a silly meme, but I also immediately didn’t agree with safari being listed as neutral lol
Gnome’s browser uses it afaik
Fewer than Chromium, but lots compared to Servo.
WebKit is neutral. Remember the sheer amount if browsers using WebKitGTK, and even more that used to use QtWebKit.
I could name any of them. Gnome Web? I think that’s it.
