    There’s nothing about integrating anything (I assume you mean Cloudflare turnstile?). It’s Cloudflare giving money to projects they like. Apparently Ladybird also has a 100k per donor limit, so that’s the max Cloudflare can give (annually?)

      that’s like taking money from google just so they aren’t considered monopolies in the browser segment.

      doesn’t “challenge” no status quo.

            You compared the Cloudflare situation to “taking money from Google” and added that due to Ladybird taking money from Cloudflare, they’re “not challenging the status quo”.

            Ladybird being a browser has absolutely no bearing on webhosting and the only status quo it can challenge is in the browser market. Which implies that you think Cloudflare has something to do with the browser market.

              i compared it to firefox, saying sucking up to oligarchies for money gets you tied up with them and prevents you from challenging them.

              no use in challenging “the browser market” when you are getting funded by the very same actors keeping it the way it is.

                  they monopolize the internet infratructure. they can very well be the ones enforcing mainstream browsers.

                  and they do. they challenge firefox users much more when they have adblockers on and such. they have the capability to do more.

                    they have the capability to do more.

                    And you don’t think that financing a third party browser to break the duopoly is “doing more”?
