Update was from 3 days ago, I'm really hopeful ladybird could be a future browser option to help break the stranglehold chrome has over the market, while Mozilla is struggling to find meaningful direction.

It seems like an exciting project with monthly progress updates :) they keep chipping away at compatibility.

The person that had the PR merged wasn't a maintainer, they just attempted to make the change using a different phrasing. ~~I remember they wrote "corrected grammar errors" and provided arguments and the PR got merged.~~ Here is the PR. They even posted on Mastodon about it at the time.

Edit: It seems now they require contributors to write documentation in gender-neutral language. However, the main dev still complains, to this day, how hard it is to run an OSS project while being "apolitical".
