You are right, but as you noticed, we don't argue the same thing.

eventually killed the thing and forced MS to switch to Chromium.

Ladybird is not threatened to be killed by whatever anybody but the developers do.

    Ladybird is not threatened to be killed by whatever anybody but the developers do.

    It absolutely is. If Google forces incompatibility on it (like it did with Edge) ordinary users won't switch. Because the majority of ordinary users are still deep in the ecosystem.

    All it takes is for Google to block high quality streaming on YouTube and the browser will never go outside of 2-3% market share.

    What's not bad? Ladybird sitting at floor-leves of market share?

    If we want to threaten the status quo in any way, it absolutely is. Firefox has 2.26% and - in terms of defining standards or forcing changes upon Chromium - it's 100% irrelevant.
