There are a lot of words the author used to simply say, "I'm going to start my pet project, which I also believe is going to fail very soon for a number of reasons"

Not much actual good content here.

Ugh, go post your negativity somewhere else. Awful comment.
There are a lot of words you used to simply say "I didn't find much actual good content there."

Not much of a contribution to the discussion here.

God I hate XKCD so much. It's a blight on the internet. I just get unreasonably angry whenever I see a link posted. This is just me venting.
Do you hate specificly the comic, or that people often post it, where it is not contributing to the discussion?
Yes, the tl;dr of this article seems to be:

> I do not expect ANYTHING to come from this project. I do not expect to finish this project.

But they can be working enough, to be useful. Meaning they can display correctly the pages you want to see.

So the best independent effort of a working browser I know of, is ladybird. And Kling knows how to build browsers, so toying around with a browser from scratch on your own will be a learning experience. But I guess you might learn more, by contributing to a project that stands a real chance to become a working browser.
