Hello friends! Today I want to share with you our plans for the next chapter of Ladybird, the truly independent, open source web browser we've been developing from scratch for the past few years.
Ladybird uses a brand new engine based on web standards, without borrowing any code from other browsers. It started as a humble HTML viewer for the SerenityOS hobby project, but since then it's grown into a full cross-platform browser project supporting Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems.
But it's still very far from finished. We want to turn Ladybird into a browser that you can use every day for all your web-related tasks. It should be fast, stable, support web standards, and protect your privacy. A browser for you.

Ladybird Web Browser Developer Attacked by Unhinged, Dishonest Activists
Unfortunately, within hours of the spotlight being directed at Ladybird, a group of activists launched an all-out-assault on the open source web browser -- by smearing it as "Transphobic", "Mysoginistic", and (this is absolutely not a joke) suggesting that the Ladybird developers actively support and promote human slavery
What vile deed were the developers of Ladybird guilty of, which necessitated such an intense response, you ask?
Well, I'll tell you.
The Ladybird team stated... wait for it...
... that they were a "purely technical project".
Seriously. That was their crime. Being "technical".
Here's the details.
