New browser in town

I like testing new browsers, these days I use Firefox more than chrome, but I always have Opera and Edge. Today I saw this video https://youtu.be/9YM7pDMLvr4?si=R7X_wdJVqqRB3TNB Andreas explaining what is Ladybird browser and why they are developing it. So I went to https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird checked out the code and build it on WSL2 Windows 11, took around 3 hours to compile and finally it worked UI looks similar to Firefox and feels like #Netscape in 1999, and it is developed actively, I hope we have a new and free browser because feels like Firefox is not that free anymore and Google has been too strong on browser market, it would be nice to have a real non-profit browser here. Maybe government/countries should support this kind of organizations otherwise browsers or OSes becoming like citizen monitoring tools and used for profit and manipulation, After we say internet is a human right that human should have the option of non monitored communication use in their home. And in the YouTube video Andreas talks about SerenityOS which looks very similar to Windows 95, good old days. It is a good idea to have unix like OS as desktop. But remember this year is the Linux desktop year :D Reference: https://ladybird.org/ https://serenityos.org/
