Ladybird (pre-alpha)

A new browser in the making.

Important
Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers

Ladybird is currently in heavy development. We are targeting a first Alpha release for early adopters in 2026. Truly independent. No code from other browsers. We’re building a new engine, based on web standards.

Build instructions:

Observations in no particular order: Youtube fails to load thumbnails or video, can’t be navigated. This page almost work, other than hamburger navigation and the svg links. Client-side search on this page does work (surprisingly). Google is usable. Will not survive any css tests as it seems. Has a nice about:processes (task manager) page. Javascript propeled svg will not run. Javascript, cookies and 3rd party cookies are enabled.
