    Cloudflare has announced its sponsorship of the Ladybird browser, an independent (still-in-development) open-source initiative

    Is it still independent?

      Yes, it is still independent. Cloudflare is just one of the three Platinum sponsors. Other two are Shopify and FUTO. Proton is also a sponsor, but in Gold tier, iirc.

          Andreas (lead engineer) has told the story of how he got that money - they just happen to know each other and $100k is peanuts for the Shopify founders.

          But you’re right to suspect anything of the sort!
