Ladybird:
Building a new browser from scratch
What does it take to build a web browser from scratch in 2025?
In this talk, I'll introduce Ladybird, a truly independent browser being built for the modern web.
Ladybird isn't a fork of some existing browser—it’s a ground-up implementation of the web platform, balancing compatibility with sustainability for a small team on a modest budget.
I'll share the story of how Ladybird came to life, the challenges we've faced along the way, and what's next for this ambitious project.
