Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

I don't really get why you think developing Ladybird will progress faster than Firefox - or a Firefox fork.
There's a larger community behind Gecko and it is a more complete browser. It doesn't make sense to me that paid development would go into Ladybird over Chromium or Gecko.
Without paid development, you don't have a browser that stays working, so I don't really see that as an option., sadly.
More of an option for Gemini, imo.
@yoasif@fedia.io I don't think Ladybird will progress faster, but eventually could be a simpler option that would attract attention and public funds.
The problem with google funds is a big one. And that is the seed of my caring.
Nothing is stopping public funding of Firefox, so I don't see it as an either, or situation.
Would you deny Ladybird search revenues? It is an interesting question.
@yoasif@fedia.io My point is not firefox versus ladybird, but free softwar web browser. In that regard, I see competing projects as a virtue.
IMHO, free software funding should be, if possible, public and based on interested people/organizations, not via publicity for another big corporation.
