WDYM "independent" ?

Isn't mozilla / gecko more or less independent?

    They get most of their money from google for the "default search engine deal" make of that what you want. For me personally it doesn't sound fully independent.

    Seems a little idealistic.

    If ladybird actually achieves any sort of userbase they would take the same deal in an instant.

    Based on the community being quite succsessful so far despite being made by volunteers, I don't think they will.

    Making a web browser that’s fully compatible with modern standards is not easy nor cheap (and worse it’s a moving target because the standards keep evolving). I’m rooting for these folks but eventually money will be an issue.
