Even assuming Ladybird somehow gains 100% of that market, completely kicking out anything Chromium related, it has ZERO bearing on who people choose for their host! Cloudflare currently has around 20% of that market, and if Ladybird - today - goes up to 100% share of the browser market, Cloudflare will still hold 20% of hosting!
You’re talking about some overarching Internet revolution, while the thread is about a single aspect of how people reach the Internet!
browsers are not a market in themselves. browsers are used to browse the internet. they are irrelevant without the context around it.
if google or cloudflare decide to create some bullshit attestation system to lock alternatives out and vendors adopt it, it doesn’t matter how many options you have. and they seem to be scoping out how to do just that.

cloudflare rules the infrastructure in the middle, google rules both ends as it controls the browser and some of the code that runs on the backend.
