Re: "Ladybird: a truly independent web browser"
Again, that's nothing to do with this discussion, and would better suit discourse in a separate post as this ones meant to encourage people to try a new approach to the web standards to make improvements away from the interest of suits which IF achievable would BENEFIT the smallnet from being threatened with similar. No need for derailment.
