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?

There is a use for Electron.

Not sure i agree. They take a engine made to render a Document Object Model and shoehorn GUI widgets on it, no? At least, every Electron tool i've used was laggy, heavy and reserved GBs of RAM.

And what, you count the major webbrowsers not as heavy and bloated?

    Well, one example would be a web browser. I'm sure you can at least agree with the utility there. I would say it could also be a useful tool for a prototype, but the problem is, once you have a working prototype, that tends to become the final product.
