Its a bit early to make the call that Ladybird will be successful. They have made a lot of noise sure, but they are a small team, tackling a huge project, and they have just had 2 language changes in the last few months.

The deck is well and truely stacked against them. Maybe they pull it off, maybe not, but its very early to make the call IMO.

Servo is looking surprisingly good, but still has major rendering issues. At least it looks like a browser now.

Developers can just be hired directly, and the Firefox codebase is open source.

Only brand requires partnering with mozilla, and what does the other partner gain from the Mozilla brand? They don’t even have much brand recognition anymore anyway.

Mozilla might as well just close up shop. If they were to abandon Firefox, what exactly are they bring to the table for anyone else?
