Friiiick, the ladybird dev? I've been keeping the project in the back of my mind until it's ready for daily use. I was so pumped for an open browser

I'd heard some rumours but this spelled it out and it's not nice. I was formerly engaged to a Norwegian, and learned quite a lot about Scandinavian culture and beliefs. Some of it is nasty and the Mullvad dude, DHH, and "Awesome Kling" as well, are saying the quiet part out loud.
