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.

On Nix, it’s available:

environment.systemPackages = [ pkgs.ladybird ];

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!
