Non-techy here, I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about Google DRM shenanigans, but don’t really understand it, and what’s ‘bad’ about it.

ELI5 please thank you

    I want to add Ladybird as one option for a new browser. It’s still in its early days, but is under active development. I hope that one day it’ll be in such a shape that it could be used as a daily driver. It’s Open Source and built from scratch. It’s awesome to follow the development of such a big project!

        As I mentioned it’s still in it’s early days. They’re working on the standards and support for all CSS properties and JS at the same time. Some pages aren’t working correctly yet, but things are moving forward every day. Don’t know if someone will work on an Android version, it’s open source after all. Currently it’s working on SerenityOS and Linux.

        I just wanted to voice out that there are alternatives in the works, that has nothing to do with Google or the other big tech companies.

        EDIT: Some pages aren’t working

        At this point in time, since it’s under heavy development, I wouldn’t use it as a daily driver. I hope some day it will have enough features to compete with all the other browsers. I just wanted to bring Ladybird up so it gets some visibility in the world.

        It’s an open source browser, continuously being worked on, started from scratch, so it’ll be a while before there are enough support for all the websites in the world. Even the JavaScript engine is built from scratch, which makes this project really exciting IMHO.
