Ladybird

Ladybird is a cross-platform browser supporting Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems, with a focus on building a new engine from scratch, using web standards and no code from other browsers. The browser is currently in heavy development, targeting a first Alpha release in 2026. Key features include a singular focus on the web browser, no monetization, and a commitment to independence. Ladybird is funded entirely by sponsorships and donations, with a transparent and community-driven development process. Technical implementation details include the use of C++ as the primary language, with plans to adopt Swift as a successor language. Specific use cases and benefits include a fast and secure browsing experience, with a strong focus on community involvement and transparency.
