Gardeners love Ladybirds, many of them are predatory, feeding on aphids and scale insects helping keep these insects under control in our gardens.

Non-Gecko (Firefox), non-Blink (Chromium) and non-Webkit (Safari) browsers:
Servo (browser engine)
https://servo.org/
Ladybird
https://ladybird.org/
They don't seem ready for use yet though.
And they wonder why they get called #TechBros the reason why this was denied is just *sigh* https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/pull/6814 #LadyBird #Tech #OpenSource
In unregelmäßigen Abständen gibt @mozillaofficial Anlass zur Frage, ob es inzwischen eher zur dunklen Seite der Macht zu rechnen sei.
Natürlich ist Google keine akzeptable Alternative (obwohl mir auffällt, dass viele Halbinformierte z.Z. von Firefox zu irgend einem chromiumbasierten Browser wechseln): Google hat eh schon zuviel Macht, was sich zuletzt darin zeigte, dass der beste Werbe- und Trackingblocker uBlock Origin nicht mehr ohne Klimmzüge mit mit Chrome benutzt werden kann.
Wenn es eine gute Alternative zu Firefox gäbe, würden noch viel mehr Leute wechseln. Aber Firefox-Forks wie #Librewolf, #Ironfox und #Zenbrowser sind nur eine Übergangslösung. Und WebKit-Browser lassen sich nicht mit AddOns wie uBlock Origin anpassen.
Wo bleiben die alternativen Rendering-Engines? Da gibt zum einen Ladybird. Das sah lange nach einem Ein-Mann-Projekt aus, aber inzwischen ist es eine Organisation. Ob es da mittlerweile mehrere Entwickler:innen gibt, wäre zu prüfen. (Update: Laut FAQ arbeiten 7 Vollzeitentwickler:innen an Ladybird, aber eine Alphaversion wird erst im Sommer 2026 erwartet.)
Außerdem wird weiterhin an der bei Mozilla entstandenen Next-Generation-Engine @servo gearbeitet, obwohl Mozilla das Rust-Team gefeuert hat, dem diese Engine zu verdanken ist. Die beiden auf Servo basierenden Browser Servoshell und Verso sind leider noch nicht alltagstauglich. Ich habe sie heute ausprobiert, damit ihr es nicht tun müsst.
Ich stimme @larsmb zu, der schreibt, dass Servo und Verso das Zeug hätten, den Browser zu bauen, den die User sich wünschen – einer, der in ihrem Interesse arbeitet. Dafür sollte es Fördermittel geben – auch öffentliche, steuerfinanzierte. Bis dahin müssen wir mit den Übergangslösungen leben.
I have earlier played with #librewolf and #waterfox, and I think the time again has come for me to look for an alternate none #chromium based #browser . The #ladybird browser shows promise and I have tried it a little. But perhaps it is time to go all in on #gnome web on #linux and stick with #safari on #macos
I think I will do a blog post about it, to tell my ups and downs in this experience, even though there are a million out there on the same topic.
Last autumn, there was a very warm day when swarms of Ladybirds were swirling around our house. I've never seen anything like it before. Some came inside.
This last couple of weeks, they seem to be waking up and wondering about lunch.
I've carefully moved ~15 out of the house so far, although this one seemed to want to read about #Trump
POLL: Trust in Firefox and Mozilla is Gone - Let's Talk Alternatives
https://boilingsteam.com/poll-trust-in-firefox-mozilla-is-gone/
You start to wonder what #browser #linux distributions like #Fedora, #Ubuntu, #Debian, #SuSE, etc will be using in the future.
Will they go for either #librewolf or #waterfox as a replacement for #Firefox, or will they go with some webkit browser provided with the desktop - something like "Web" (#gnome devs, damn you for that naming) or #Falkon / #Ladybird for #plasma
Or... will they allow Firefox to continue on it's path, exposing their users to the possibility of transgressions.
I see people talking about how much they can't wait for the #LadyBird browser, so I figured it necessary to dig up a post I wrote on my website a year ago about some transphobia kicked up by Andreas Kling and why you shouldn't bother with it, ever
TL;DR: Dude is a neo nazi, and he forked LadyBird in a tantrum because people kept asking him why he wrote code that misgendered its users.
