  Congratulations on completely misunderstanding the comic.

  Ladybird is not a new standard. It is a new implementation of existing standards. Nobody has to change or adapt anything.

    It still has some of the same problems as the comic, though not to the same extent, it doesn’t need to be a standard for the comic to make sense, it’s also about market share. Having yet another browser has the potential of diluting the market and making people just go for the default.

      I might agree if it was another Chromium browser or something, but this uses its own rendering engine and thus directly opposes Google’s dominance on web standards. Currently, there are only 3 major rendering engines:

      • Blink - Chromium browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, etc)
      • Gecko - Firefox browsers
      • WebKit - Safari, GNOME Web (Epiphany), and Konqueror

      Ladybird and Servo (Mozilla R&D project) are new ones, and Ladybird seems to have more traction.

      Engine diversity is important. Browser diversity… a bit less so.

    Excellent edit. Did you make it?

      I actually saw someone make the same edit, but I couldn’t find it in time, so I made my own edit.

  Currently there are 3 browsers available and of them is only available on overpriced disposable hardware.

    If the latter is Safari, then WebKit-based browsers are available for Windows and Unix-likes too.

    Actually WebKit is often used in the same role Gecko would be used, until Mozilla decided they don’t want alternative browsers on Gecko.

      If the latter is Safari, then WebKit-based browsers are available for Windows and Unix-likes too.

      Which are? Please list a few current ones that have reasonable backing and at least a mid-size community.

        Here are two on Linux:

        • GNOME Web (was called Epiphany)
        • Konquerer - KDE

        Those are the two biggest desktops on Linux. In fact, when I run Tauri (like Electron, but uses your system webview instead of bundling it), it uses GNOME Web on my system.

        I wasn’t thinking of such and meant vimb or surf.

  That is not the point of making another browser.
