I guess I won't be using it then. 🤷‍♂️

When it incorporates something like TreeStyleTab, I'll look into it, horizontal tab bars are just silly - most have widescreen displays and content is usually in narrow columns.

I'm hyped as long as Ladybird supports uBlock Origin; hoping it's technically feasible.

As the top comment on the Hacker News thread notes,

Cloudflare clearly wants to move us to a future where only approved browsers are allowed to access the web... an independent open source web browser is obviously against that ethos.

I'm suspicious on that basis alone.

The title is an oxymoron lol

Considering that the two projects funded by Cloudflare are headed by known bigots (Andreas Kling and DHH), it makes me distrust Cloudflare even further.

Without a Windows release it will remain a niche browser even if by chance it becomes the most used on macOS, GNU+Linux and other Unix-like OSes.

windows browsers are all niche when you introduce anything to the mobile market. An android / iOS ladybird browser would crush it
