People keep mentioning ladybird like it'll be a serious contender as a daily driver in the next 10 years. While I do think they're doing impressive work for a tech demo, they are a couple hundred person years behind on an incredibly big piece of software. how could they possibly catch up?

Large enterprise software development is *hugely* inefficient. I wouldn't be surprised if, for any given feature, Ladybird developers could implement it in a tenth the time that current Chrome developers would.

Of course, they're ten thousand features behind, so it will take many years. I just think it's not fair to look at the huge number of developers working on Chrome and use that predict the productivity of a smaller, more motivated, less constrained team.

I disagree; I use my browser everyday, including for work. If I can instead pay a little money and have a better experience that makes sense to me, sort of like Kagi but for browsers.
