Servo vs Ladybird
thelibre.news

I believe that Ladybird has more funding and better support for the web, but Servo wins in performance. Though, they’re hard to compare directly!

    If you’re leaving firefox for ideological reasons you may want to also avoid Ladybird. The dev had a public freakout over the idea that women exist.

      the dev is a recovered addict and ex-convict who took up os development to be able to focus on something other than the world around him, in a country where the pronouns debate barely exists. him initially not accepting a documentation change from an unknown contributor that only changes pronouns does not qualify as a public freakout.

      Edit: not to mention, this has been fixed. read the history of the documents touched by the offending PR and you will see that they were changed years ago.

        All code is political, especially foss code. If he had accepted the change, even after initially being skeptical, no one would care. But he picked a side in the dumb culture war and stuck with it.

          but… he did. the documentation has all been changed to use second-person pronouns for user actions. that was years ago. the most rudimentary checks of the git history shows this. yet people are still going at him for it.

            That’s good to hear, if true. I’m not an expert at git, I’ve just seen the two issues that were both closed as won’tfix. I think they’d help their PR (edit: public relations) a lot if they just updated those issues.

              or if people would take the two seconds to click the “history” button on the file in the pull request. at this point, this brigading and targeted harassment of an individual with a history of depression and drug abuse has been going on for close to four years. it’s no longer a “PR” matter.

      Stop spreading this nonsense. He made ONE comment that made it clear he is not accepting contributions for political reason from people not part of the project.

      The “freakout” was entirely external.

          It looks more like the dev felt the PR being introduced was purely for political reasons, which he disliked. I’m not saying I agree with the dev, but you’ve stated he “had a public freakout over the idea that women exist” and that doesn’t appear to be the case here.

          Consider that claims like yours, and the responses to his rejection of the PR, probably only strengthened his belief of the PR’s intent.

      At this point I’m going to personally donate to Ladybird because you people have been spreading this bullshit for months
