For those who don't know, Ladybird is a new open-source browser not based on Chromium or Gecko. It started as part of the SerenityOS project. Since then it's taken on a life of its own with lots of contributors and some pretty cool progress. I've been watching the updates on Andreas's YouTube channel and it really gives you an appreciation for how hard it is to build a browser engine.

Anyway, I think he sees a real future in Ladybird, unlike Serenity which was mostly a hobby, and I'm actually really excited by him focusing his full energy on the browser. Best of luck Andreas!

I'm exited that there are two projects that are creating a new browser engine.

I hope both of them the best of luck. Maybe in the future you have the choice between chromium, gecko, servo and Ladybi.rd
