The Ladybird browser project (ladybird.dev)

Ladybird is an ongoing project to build an independent web browser from scratch.

It is being developed as part of the SerenityOS/serenity project on GitHub.

There are no downloadable binaries yet, as the project is still very unstable. You can follow the build instructions to build it for yourself.

This page is not fancy because we are focusing on building the browser. :^)

Since Ladybird is part of the SerenityOS project, development is coordinated on the SerenityOS discord server.

Forces ads in my face via Firefox. Sometimes promotes commercial control of the internet. Is borderline for-profit at this stage with all the moneygrubbing and issues that comes with.

Don't get me wrong, they're the best of the lot by a long long way, but they're still problematic.

What? Where? I haven't seen an ad in Firefox since Carter was president.

Install Firefox with default settings > Look at your new tab page. They're all sponsored ads.

Firefox on mobile collects data and sends it off for marketing purposes, this can't be turned off.

Oh my gosh, that's messed up. And you can't even turn it off??!?
