Projects To Watch Out For: Ladybird Browser

Linux · 3 months ago

Ladybird

Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, backed by a non-profit.

Finally, another web engine is being developed to compete with Chromium and Firefox (Gecko), and they’re also working on a browser that will use it.

Here’s the maintainer talking about the current state of the project, and a demo of the current functionality

some reasons that I can think of:

performance improvements (e.g. JIT)

new standards (e.g. WASM)

vulnerabities

new features (e.g. web engines weren’t always sandboxed)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
