I would be very interested to know how they plan to resolve these issues with "Ladybird." Using a new engine will likely clash with the FALSE "security measures" of many websites and harm the browsing experience. It’s often said that users should demand respect for web standards, but in the meantime, as usability declines, users will gradually drift away. Firefox learned this lesson the hard way.
I don't understand these monolithic reimplementation efforts. Split that shit up into plugins and functional components instead of trying to swallow the whole elephant. There's no reason the average user would want to swap between Javascript engines, but having the option allows independent advancement. Some clever new idea can emerge without also bundling an entire new browser, or convincing one of the few sprawling major projects to switch.
Servo is another wip web browser, managed by the Linux foundation's European branch. It's a little less far along but is making relatively quick progress now. Apparently discord already mostly works, with sending messages currently being a problem.
