Ladybug seems to have garnered quite the attention and funding. It will probably be a great alternative for anyone looking for one. But I personally would not use it, the dev's behaviour has made me keep my distance from the project.

Look up FOSS browser in the world that is not based on WebKit or Chromium.
Its called Ladybug. It’s not ready yet but it’s coming. It’s Firefox but with a better model for the user .

Is it open source, or is it owned by a private company? Looks exactly like the kind of thing that’ll be great for a few years and then become enshittified, like all for-profit software inevitably seems to.

Ladybird is a non profit developed by volunteers, no company.
Project lead is Andreas Kling (you should definitely watch his development videos and streams), great guy who developed SerenityOS aswell, an operating system from scratch. For that he developed LibWeb which he then used to create Ladybird. They only recently founded a non-profit, which is probably needed as the project size grew.
