    Still, it’s hard to understand why Cloudflare chose to back exactly Omarchy.

    Maybe the developers in Cloudflare use it? Also weird because Omarchy’s default browser is Chromium I think. The webpage didn’t list the default browser, so not sure about that.

        Anyway, Omarchy and Ladybird are both run by fascists. Omarchy makes this pretty obvious from the outset – on the home page the big YouTube poster image prominently features SuperGrok, which is a pathetically transparent dog-whistle to signal alliance with Elon Musk’s fascist politics. Omarchy is the pet project of David Heinemeier Hansson, aka DHH, who is well known as a rich fascist weirdo.2 One need only consult his blog to browse his weird, racist views on immigration, fat-shaming objections to diverse representation, vaguely anti-feminist/homophobic/rapey rants on consent, and, recently, tone-policing antifascists who celebrate the death of notable fascist Charlie Kirk.

        Speaking of tributes to Charlie Kirk, that brings us to Andreas Kling, the project lead for Ladybird, who tweeted on the occasion of his assassination:

        RIP Charlie Kirk

        I hope many more debate nerds carry on his quest to engage young people with words, not fists.

        I was not prepared to learn these things today.

          The argument on Kling seems pretty weak to me… is he Fascist because… he doesn’t support violence and an assassination? 🙄

          By this logic for being not fascist one must support the death penalty?

          I am pretty sure fascists are in favour of violence and murder (in fact the person cited was killed by a fascist)

            “carry on his quest”. What was Charlie Kirks quest again? Where does he say he doesn’t support violence and assassination? Are you Klings PR?

            Just because fascists kill fascists doesn’t make spreding hate less fascist. Does your definition of fascists only start when they start shooting people on sight?

            People like kirk were revelling in current administration. But since they didn’t “use violence”, they must’ve been innocent in all this trend, huh?

            Honestly there’s a reason fascists are on the rise. People like you seem too oblivious to see the subtle narrative of spreading hate by casual undertones.

            But hey, you do you. I hope you take up his quest as well.

            Honestly, Firefox has been stable AF and forks are doing awesome work. Maybe those forks might even continue doing their own thing by the time this project will be ready for beta testing.

            Competition is great but this one’s on already on shaky ground.

            I’m rooting for Servo more than these fascist wannabes.
