[foresto]

If it doesn't do what you want, it's fair not to like it.

Just to offer a different perspective, though: I don't consider a lot of the things that Chrome does (bittorrent functionality in this case) to be part of "a good web", or really part of the web at all. I don't need my browser to be an operating system. I can use other apps to do other things.

It's much more important to me to avoid another Internet Explorer-like monoculture, and to have a browser that's relatively respectful of privacy.

Probably the main benefit of another browser engine (Ladybug?) entering the scene is that it would force Mozilla to come up with a more compelling sell than "not Chrome."

Do you mean Ladybird? It would be nice to see it become competitive with the others, at least. Diversity would be welcome.

I was a little surprised to learn that they'll use Swift for future development. It's not among the languages I usually think of for cross-platform work. On the other hand, maybe Ladybird using it will help drive improvement in that area.
