I believe that Ladybird has more funding and better support for the web, but Servo wins in performance. Though, they’re hard to compare directly!

    the dev is a recovered addict and ex-convict who took up os development to be able to focus on something other than the world around him, in a country where the pronouns debate barely exists. him initially not accepting a documentation change from an unknown contributor that only changes pronouns does not qualify as a public freakout.

      All code is political, especially foss code. If he had accepted the change, even after initially being skeptical, no one would care. But he picked a side in the dumb culture war and stuck with it.

          That’s good to hear, if true. I’m not an expert at git, I’ve just seen the two issues that were both closed as won’tfix. I think they’d help their PR (edit: public relations) a lot if they just updated those issues.

            or if people would take the two seconds to click the “history” button on the file in the pull request. at this point, this brigading and targeted harassment of an individual with a history of depression and drug abuse has been going on for close to four years. it’s no longer a “PR” matter.
