    I’ve been using Zen which is nice and has some stuff removed that we don’t want.

    But it’ll only be around as long as Firefox is around.

      I’m in the same boat using Zen. Eagerly waiting on Ladybird to come out. They are writing it from the ground up not even a package being used according to them. Oh and this isn’t some rando this is a guy who done decades of coding(mostly browser) so my hopes are high as Snoop

        Ladybird is nice, but has a long way to go.

        I personally think just tracking today’s Web is useless. It’s dying. It’s a system that went from conscious development to malicious growth of standards for the purpose of capturing the field.

        There’s a need of at least search, payments, hosting and CDN (and pooling in there, and paying for a resource and selling a resource) being integrated into the system for the new Web-like thing. So that siloed services solving these problems weren’t needed. I’m thinking lately of a system with some kind of “resource market”, where it’s seamless to globally sell and buy storage and computing resources, and transparent routing to those resources, with the market itself reminiscent of MMORPG markets, like in EVE. With search and payments being uniform, so that your client would aggregate results of many automatically retrieved indexers from a pool, without dependence on a single search engine.

        I dunno if this looks stupid. Just - paying for things with ads seems to have been a bad idea retrospectively.

          Hard agree on most of these. Try searchxng regards the search bit. It’s a self hostable search proxy. It’ll use everything from bing to duckduck and the topics(eg map search images) are more relevant and specific (at least for me) it looks like the unshitified google era.

          And ofc ladybird is far af but i think it’s something that we need right now
