> everyone seemingly writing their own browser lately
Can you name/link to a few examples? I know about Ladybird:
https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/
but haven't noticed other initiatives.
> might be what ends up breaking their browser monopoly.
This post is a toy project, not a full-fledged browser engine, which is a large beast (even when you _don't_ do everything from scratch)
I think the one that made the biggest news cycle splash this last month was the FastRender experiment https://github.com/wilsonzlin/fastrender from Cursor, but I've also seen some others posted this last month. Simonw's blog seems to be tracking some under the browser-challenge tag https://simonwillison.net/tags/browser-challenge/ such as one-agent-one-browser and HiWave.
