| In some positive news today, Cloudflare is sponsoring the Ladybird browser effort: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45332860 That's not nothing. |

| Its a token gesture. Ladybird is not a serious disruption. |

| ▲ | swed420 2 days ago | parent [-] | | How could you be so confident about such a thing? Are you implying it's going to fail in its goal as a competing browser, or that the competition is somehow irrelevant in a world that's forced to be slave to Google/Apple? | | |
| ▲ | AuthAuth an hour ago | parent [-] | | I'm implying that Ladybird will never grow to the size where it will have any influence on the internet. So this donation is a token gesture to making things better and will be unlikely to change anything. I dont think Ladybird will ever surpass Firefox and to have any impact it would need to be at least as popular as firefox. |

| Likely related on getting influece in order to enforce the gatekeeping standards, unfortunately. |
