I hear it’s the first browser in a long while to come with a new engine. Completely independent and no revenue model. To me that would work well for privacy but I see no mention of privacy as any benefit. In fact I don’t see a privacy policy anywhere !

Is a goal of the browser to be telemetry free ? Should I as a person who cares about privacy be showing any interest?

tbh I'm more excited about Servo.org. They're also developing a fully independent browser engine and are funded by the Linux Foundation. Ladybird has corporate sponsors, so I'm a bit hesitant. But the more the merrier I guess.

Has something changed recently? Last time I looked at Servo it was just an engine, not a full browser. The servo project wants others to use their rendering engine to create browsers and use it as an alternative to Electron.

That's true, but they have a prototype "browser" you can download from their website. And I'm hoping for a fleshed out version in the end, either from them or someone else.
