Sure, but any competition to Chromium is good
For sure it is good because any other engine is direct or indirect an Google project, all development over the past decade was funded by Google. But this, to create a new indie engine in 2026 comes 15-20 years too late as to be capable to gain any minimum market share. The browser market is a brutal competition with over 70 companies victims in this battle, and I fear that Ladybird won't be an exception.
Fair concerns. I share the skepticism, but am still always happy to see projects like this attempting to swim against the current, late or not
