  Ladybird is an open-source web browser developed by the Ladybird Browser Initiative, a nonprofit organization focused on development of the browser.[1] It is licensed under the BSD 2-Clause License.[2] An alpha release is planned in 2026,[3][4] beta release is expected in 2027, and a stable release for general public in 2028.[5] Originally a component of SerenityOS, it is now being developed as a standalone project.[6] The initiative is funded entirely through donations, with Cloudflare, FUTO, Shopify, and 37signals among its sponsors.

  Ladybird uses a new browser engine called LibWeb that is being created from scratch by the development team. Unlike SerenityOS, it will also use other open source libraries for development.[2] An ad blocking feature is planned.[7] Unlike most new web browsers, Ladybird does not rely on Chromium or Firefox and uses its own rendering engine and JavaScript engine.[8]

    Yeah that’s what I’m saying. I watched some interview awhile back, but when I went to install it it was not available yet

      But don’t have high expectations. It definitely will be bad. It will be only for testing with hopes that it will get good some day. For now Librewolf/ Fennec, Millvad/ Firefox Focus and Tor are good in my opinion.

  It’s slated for a early 2026 alpha. So it’s actually pretty close.
