Why is Ladybird getting so much attention. Has anyone herd of servo? They're trying to offload css rendering to the gpu. That could be a big deal in the long run.

I think you want:
https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium
Without signing in to a Google Account, Chromium does pretty well in terms of security and privacy. However, Chromium still has some dependency on Google web services and binaries. In addition, Google designed Chromium to be easy and intuitive for users, which means they compromise on transparency and control of internal operations.
ungoogled-chromium addresses these issues in the following ways:
* - Remove all remaining background requests to any web services while building and running the browser*
* - Remove all code specific to Google web services*
* - Remove all uses of pre-made binaries from the source code, and replace them with user-provided alternatives when possible.*
* - Disable features that inhibit control and transparency, and add or modify features that promote them (these changes will almost always require manual activation or enabling).*

I was looking through what is needed to be able to contribute to ladybird and saw this in their CONSTRIBUTING.md:
> This is a purely technical project. As such, it is not an appropriate arena to advertise your personal politics or religious beliefs. Any changes that appear ideologically motivated will be rejected.
This honestly is telling me enough about the maintainers of this project that I don't want to get involved with those kinda people (as a sidenote, that statement in itself is a contradiction of the entire project wanting to be an independent browser, as that is an ideology in itself).
Also, `using std::swap` specifically is done like this[1] for generics for ADL. And directly beneath not using fixed width integers anywhere is also questionable, I guess with exception of their custom one used only for memory stuff? why is everyone allergic to using (`std::`)`byte`.

> Rust was literally invented to solve the security and concurrency issues inherent in using C/C++ for a browser engine.
Are most browser vulnerabilities not still found in engines like V8? Rust can help with something like last year's buffer overflow in libwebp (although that's overkill when a project like https://github.com/google/wuffs exists), but I'm unclear on how it gets you a better JIT.
