      WebKit isn’t dead and is being used by GNOME Web.

        it’s the only one i knew about before the other comment. with more browsers using it, we may not need to build another engine from scratch to broaden competition

          I think this is the argument that the Ladybird people have made:

          • Chrome is dependent on Google ( obviously )
          • Edge is dependent on Google ( based on Chromium )
          • Firefox is dependent on Google ( 80% of revenue )
          • Safari is dependent on Google ( $4 billion from Google )
          • most other browsers are dependent on Google ( use Chromium ) - Brave, Vivaldi, Opera, etc

          Ladybird is intended to be a truly independent browser and especially independent of Google.

            Safari isn’t dependent on Google. It was just a no-brainer for Apple to take a free 20 billion dollars from Google for setting the default search engine to something most users would want anyway.

      I used luakit for awhile. Really fun to only use keyboard, but definitely lacking features that makes “modern” websites not suck so hard
