sorry to be pedantic but, do you mean perhaps oligopolies? and by that do you mean marketshare or technology share? i'm just curious what people are looking for in ladybird (just better tech or better or governance?)
To me, a project's "hype-ness" is the ratio of how much attention it gets over how useful it actually is to users.
As a browser, Ladybird usefulness is currently quite limited for obvious reasons. This is not meant to dismiss its achievements, nor to overlook the fact that building a truly useful browser for everyday users is something few open source teams can accomplish without the backing of a billion dollar company. Still, in its present state, its practical utility remains limited.
