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'm skeptical about Ladybird, that's why I have such high hopes for Servo

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

Can you link to more info on this

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:

as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM

Do they just try to remove DRM from media as it comes down, or can you not watch any DRM media at all on it?

They disable it by default, because it requires the execution of proprietary code, but you can reenable it.
