Just installed it on void. Still not quite usable for daily use but it's not bad.

Once Servo is finished, we might have a browser rennaisance (I hope)
That would be nice. I know lately I've been playing around with gopher sites with command line browsers. It's been fun seeing what others have made.
same slogan everywhere, plant pictures for a strong greenwashing aesthetics, old white men smiling reassuringly. 5/7 homepage.
The main issue I have right now: the jurisdiction of this is in the US, and to be honest, I don’t trust the US that much when it comes to privacy laws regarding the (near) future.
the EU wants backdoors to encryptions, so eu not any better.
It certainly is the lesser evil though.
what r they gonna do if it's open source and doesn't collect data. worry more about ur OS
I'm pretty sure my Debian doesn't collect personal data either
I’m not naive enough anymore for this kind of trust.

crying in decentralization efforts
Hell, even worse, crying in the lost information. Discord is a black hole where community knowledge goes to die.
It's the worst.

The Discord-based "support" makes it a "meh." The main devs alt-right BS makes it a "hard pass."
Lemmy was created by a tankie, many of whose opinions I abhor.
As long as it's FOSS and doesn't inherently promote their beliefs, I will use the software.
I agree it's not great and I'd prefer if it weren't made by imbeciles

I donate to Ladybird and Servo, and I hope they succeed. We need serious competition and a check on Mozilla (not to mention Chrome and Safari).
That said, I'm sad that neither Ladybird or Servo are licensed under strong copyleft licenses. We need user-oriented browsers now more than ever, and strong copyleft enables that. I worry that, even if these engines are successful, they will be co-opted by proprietary browsers and eventually superseded by them.
This happened before - both Chrome and Safari ultimately derive from KHTML, Konqueror's browser engine. If KHTML had been licnesed under the GPL instead of the LGPL, Chrome and Safari (and not just their engines) may have been free software today. Or, at the very least, it would have been much more difficult for Apple and Google to get started.
That said, I wish Ladybird the best. There donation = no influence policy is excellent, and I really, really hope they can stick to it in the long term.
No.
If khtml had been GPL, it simply never would have been used for chrome or safari, some other engine would have been picked.
Anything but real open source for these types of companies

To go along with the alt right stuff, one of their major donors is Shopify.
So what?
Shopify willingly hosted and sold Kanye's swastika shirt.
