alt Hacker NewsI don't have much faith in Firefox saving us, given its organizational turnover and cultural issues.
I have much more faith in a new entrant, like Ladybird. I should be able to use Ladybird on iOS. Why not?

Ladybird has too much pride.
They are more concerned with making something from scratch than something that actually works.
Also they’re switching over to Swift which can only be worse for performance.

The problem with "new entrant" is that only revolutionary features convince users to switch en mass.
Tabs/stability (Firefox vs IE). V8 (Chrome vs Firefox).
Anything else is a battle of attrition, where the deepest pocketed competitor in terms of advertising spend wins. Or Google, because it flood all its own advertising channels.
And Chrome still barely only won.
