The Ladybird browser project

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.

But is there any plans to support GNU Linux distros, like Debian or Nix? From the first look the browser is only for Serenity.
- It does build on Linux distros as well. There's already a package on the AUR for instance: https://aur.archlinux.org/ladybird-git.git
  
  Linux is the only platform to get native WebGL, too!
  
  https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ladybird-git
- On Nix, it’s available:
  
  environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.ladybird ];
Using Qt and brotli, seems nice! But Discord? Hell no.
- Want to contribute to this open project? Create closed Microsoft GitHub & Discord account. https://drewdevault.com/2021/12/28/Dont-use-Discord-for-FOSS.html
Also, is there any plan to provide binaries and builds? Especially for Android, for example, via F-Droid?
- F-Droid does not ship binaries. You submit code to be built by F-Droid. This is its strength and also weakness. IzzyOnDroid just pulls in Github releases, which is pretty cool.
  
  IzzyEnDroid docs don’t say they are limited to MS GitHub
Completely unrelated, but I saw these in close proximity. A name change might be in order if this turns out to be a thing. Then again, maybe not.

- Not this again... 🙄
