Should I be excited about Ladybird Browser ? (lemmy.world)

I hear it’s the first browser in a long while to come with a new engine. Completely independent and no revenue model. To me that would work well for privacy but I see no mention of privacy as any benefit. In fact I don’t see a privacy policy anywhere !

Is a goal of the browser to be telemetry free ? Should I as a person who cares about privacy be showing any interest?

  • the privacy/security problem is inherent in websites requiring JS
  • web standards organizations are infiltrated by Google for a decade now. And it's likely, that they pushed for more complexity and more JS, to secure their businesses, because
    • Google has a major webbrowser/engine (complexer engine = less competition)
    • Google has the major search engine, power over rankings (ensuring webpages implement complexity)
    • Google has 90% internet advertising market share (it's their turf)

To fix the web, we need something new, that is simple to implement but still flexible.
