Asking after the privacy debacle and manifest. I'm not keeping up closely, but iirc Firefox is the browser recommended because of Ublock. After the privacy data issue I've noticed broken trust from Firefox users, recommendations in favor of switching browsers, and predictions saying Firefox is going downhill fast and that their forks won't be maintained for much longer.

So I'm here asking the seasoned sailors' thoughts, aye. Is this just a storm passing by or are you really considering jumping ship?

I like LibreWolf, it's a privacy and security focused fork of Firefox.

But I'm really looking forward to Servo, hopefully it becomes usable one day.

Servo and Ladybird both look like the future of the web.

I doubt that would be the case for Ladybird if the devs keep being how they are.

Can we stop acting like he raised a Nazi salute or something? Denying a PR that only changes minor stuff like pronouns by a not known contributor is well within the rights of a maintainer. Just because he did not communicate it well doesn't make him or the project transphob

It stems back to a PR from the SerenityOS project where someone changed a "he" to a "they" in the documentation and the PR was declined for "personal politics"

Here's an article about it: https://hyperborea.org/reviews/software/ladybird-inclusivity/

It does leave out this response by Kling on Twitter:
