So there are only 2 web browser engines, and it seems likely there will

soon only be 1, and making a whole new web browser from the ground up is

effectively impossible because the browsers vendors have weaponized web

standards complexity against any newcomers.

The web needs a new protocol.

Ladybird seems hopeful.

Ladybird, if it ever gets finished (well, it will never catch up with all the thousands of Chrome new APIs, but maybe it will get to 90% and become usable), will be so comparatively slow and memory heavy that only the idealistic "web" enthusiasts will use it, so I don't know that improves anything upon the current situation.

Which is good, we can abandon this failed "web" project and move on to the next idea: https://joeyh.name/blog/entry/WASM_Wayland_Web_WWW/

Fine, but an idea doesn't improve anything either. Something like Ladybird at least exists right now. I'll gladly look to anything better when it actually exists.

Ladybird is coming on strong

lmao

Google pays Apple not to play in this space

Where we are going the web browser will seem like an ancient relic.

Forget browsers, we are in prehistory, when wallets evolve , wallets will be the browser, wallets as a browser #WAAB
