There's nothing about integrating anything (I assume you mean Cloudflare turnstile?). It's Cloudflare giving money to projects they like. Apparently Ladybird also has a 100k per donor limit, so that's the max Cloudflare can give (annually?)

Without a Windows release it will remain a niche browser even if by chance it becomes the most used on macOS, GNU+Linux and other Unix-like OSes.
windows browsers are all niche when you introduce anything to the mobile market. An android / iOS ladybird browser would crush it
As far as I know, there still aren't any non-WebKit engines for iOS, even though the possibility is theoretically there as of 17.4… (It may need to be EU-only? I'm not clear on that part.)
I've seen a lot of Ladybird news recently. Let me know when I can actually try using it.

Ah yes, of course the status quo challenges the status quo!
ew what
Still, it’s hard to understand why Cloudflare chose to back exactly Omarchy.
Maybe the developers in Cloudflare use it? Also weird because Omarchy's default browser is Chromium I think. The webpage didn't list the default browser, so not sure about that.
Here's one theory: https://drewdevault.com/2025/09/24/2025-09-24-Cloudflare-and-fascists.html
