Monthly update on the FOSS "Ladybird" browser engine (www.youtube.com)

Update was from 3 days ago, I'm really hopeful ladybird could be a future browser option to help break the stranglehold chrome has over the market, while Mozilla is struggling to find meaningful direction.

It seems like an exciting project with monthly progress updates :) they keep chipping away at compatibility.

On a code comment the author wrote "he" somewhere, not sure if referring to a specific person or was used to generally refer to "people". It could be the author was referring to a trans woman or could be a cis man (haven't checked).

Somebody did a PR changing that to "they" and the author rejected it and said something along the lines of "not wanting to get political".

Then backlash started.

Not enough meat here for me to boycott the app really. YMMV

Check my comment, he was referring to the user reading the documentation in general.

So most likely a mental translation issue. Massive nothingburguer specially with the dire need on options on the browser space

Agreed, no need to throw a bitchfit over one inclusive suggestion!
