A new browser with a "new engine" apparently ("that being chromium, gecko and webkit" according to one comment).

Your overall thoughts on it? The video is less than 20 minutes so far. Looks 'ight so far too, afaik. But I'm no expert.

Ladybird should be supported solely because diversity is much needed in the browser space to prevent domination by a few tech companies.

But in terms of security and compatibility chromium is still tough to beat.

What about Firefox? Isn't Chromium compromised?

Firefox deserves more users too.

Yes Chromium will lose legacy adblock support next year.

But the main difference between Chromium and Firefox is that web developers will tailor their websites to perform better or work better on Chromium than Firefox. Especially Google first party services like YouTube or Google Docs. But developers outside Google do this too.

As early as next year?!

Never heard of this... That's a bummer.
