Good progress this month! Good to see it running on Windows now, even if I don't use Windows myself anymore. That'll help boost adoption once it releases.

I always wonder why there are no download links. Alpha, beta, something at least.

Very cool! Impressive how they are improving and developing month by month! I sounds like they aren't far away from having a useable browser, but I think remembering hearing Andreas Kling tell that it's still years away from "finished"?

I’m impressed how well Google maps works already.

Seems though as if the WPT score is not super meaningful in measuring actual usability. The growth of passed tests seems suspiciously uniform across browsers, so I guess it has more to do with new passing tests being added and less with failing tests that got fixed.

While I truly admire how much progress they’ve made, and respect that everyone should pursue whatever they feel like doing with their time, it still feels to me like such a waste that it’s not written in a modern memory safe language.

I fear it’s ultimately going to be the most promising, least safe browser to use.

But hey, I want to be proven wrong, so I still gave them some money…

This will be what Otter Browser failed to do in order to create a widely used browser written in QT after Konqueror under KDE3 days. And, well, the same with Falkon/Qupzilla.

Ladybird might be the next Opera but without reusing the Blink engine making it a Chromium clone. And, OFC, fully libre.
