saying 'no code' from rivals seems highly misleading, and I can't seem to see a hard citation for this, in fact, it very directly contradicts this same sentence from the article
it would be better to say they aren't relying on libraries and features from rivals. not that they will use "no code" from them, good code is good code afterall
What I got was that there would be no Google or Mozilla specific code/libraries, but FOSS libraries for common media formats would be included so that the project can reach a wider audience.
Honestly, I'm not sure that's quite a good takeaway. The article itself was pretty much a bland nothing burger and the articles that were cited were, again, pretty bland. The biggest thing I can find is that they won't be facing off another browser and then it's like, well duh.
It's just one of those things. It just feels like the original dude said one thing and the author interpreted it a completely different way.
No, that's a takeaway from the post by the dev about Ladybird. It's what he said, more or less.
