Ladybird, the browser from SerentityOS, now has a non-profit behind it! The guy in the video is not Andreas, but Chris Wanstrath (former CEO from Github), and he’s pumping some financial backing into this non-profit.

I for one am happy we’re getting an alternative to the Chrome/Firefox duality we’re stuck with.

      It actually exists and is being developed for the last three yeras. But you have to compile it by youself. Just a way to prevent people from having expectations, but a lot of modern sites are working in it. Some errors, a bit slow, but they have rendering engine, css parser, js implementation and are working closely with w3c - they have found some bugs in the standard since they are implementing it directly.

      Great and useful project, I don’t know if it will become real competition to firefox and chrome, but I guess it will get traction. A lot of people want new browser, some of them have money.

        Thanks for the reply, I understand it would be unwise to release a build at this point in time. I’ll be waiting for it, meanwhile I’ll keep using Firefox.
