Ladybird browser update (October 2024)

[@jlahijani]

I absolutely love that you found that little Easter egg I put there. Also A+ on pronouncing my last name.

[@ContemplativeCat]

It's great to see Ladybird getting more sponsorship and gaining momentum! 😃

[@lancemarchetti8673]

This is quite an awesome project. The one thing I need a modern browser to do is to allow for broken faulty images to be displayed. That's what I miss about IE the most, it would still give you a png even if some of the data chunk bytes were missing or the byte order was corrupt. A browser that can do this would be a huge plus for those in the field of digital forensics. For example, Base64 strings for images can be manually manipulated to obscure the image just by moving 1 or 2 bytes in the string. This should work for all support image formats, except of course where the file header is too obscured. Great work guys!

[@CloudCuckooKing]

I greatly look forward to this achieving general usability! It will only help non-chrome browsers as a whole to have a competitor on market share.

Ladybird "Pizza" milestone

You can order pizza now! I call that feature complete! Well done.

Can't wait to use ladybird ! I look foward to Switch from brave to lady 🤝🤝🗿

[@RubenKelevra]

I've settled on Thorium in the meantime. Best experience I've had in a browser for a long time. :) Hope to switch to Ladybird soon, too. But I fear it's still a year or two away ;)

@@RubenKelevra yeah more like 15 years before it will be usable as a daily driver

[@sonicSnap]

@@theairaccumulator7144 for normal people probably, but for open source freaks like us probably two or three years

[@sonicSnap]

@@RubenKelevra what do you like about it? i've been considering switching browsers but i've never considered anything chromium, fork or not. maybe it's time to

[@RubenKelevra]

@sonicSnap well, I think it's a good mix adding new features like Jpeg-XL support, removing features, like Google analytics and the block of adblockers Google just introduced, while retaining useful features like synching to a Google account, if you like. I mean it's not bug free (yet), but nothing deal breaking popped up for me yet in 3 month of usage, while it's much faster than Firefox on the same system.

[@Slymeball]

I honestly can't wait to be able to use Ladybird as a stable daily driver! Love the work you guys are putting in here

[@spatialfree]

i love to see the momentum building on this project, kudos to all involved ^-^

[@Krzysiekoy]

Holly molly, Mike's resume is STACKED.

[@lifelover69]

awesome, Ladybird is making so much progress! people are really excited about an independent browser (including me)

[@SchalkNeethling]

Loving all the new CSS features landing. Well done, everyone!!

[@sussyuchiha5780]

It makes me very happy to see that every month, the view count of the update video keeps increasing. Great going!

[@StevenHokins]

Another month and another huge step forward, great job everybody involved ❤

You look Cool with the Beard you are flaunting.

[@CocolinoFan]

I'm always so excited for this videos.

[@spralis]

Thank you Andreas 🥰

[@swwox]

Always love watching these videos

[@jfftck]

I would love to see Ladybird and Servo grow a lot to be a viable option, I would never want to see a single dominant browser and hopefully with two more players in this market.

[@eyluismi168]

Awesome work! Loving these monthly updates and the WPT videos!

[@garrettrinquest1605]

Anyone else always build Ladybird while they watch the monthly update?

[@colinstu]

Great progress!

[@enginqt]

Love seeing the progress!

[@CYXXYC]

i always noticed that ladybird has a flashbang before css loads, and its so much more significant than tiny things breaking all over the page; maybe focusing on partially applying css/links as page loads (or at least preserve body background) is a good idea?

[@1amy0u1amy0u]

Great presentation by the way .

[@steadyfall]

stumbled upon this video from my feed and im glad that i did. an open source independent non-chromium browser looks really promising & exciting.

[@gargamel3478]

The more Ladybird is ahead the more Google Chrome is dead!

[@AbdessalamM]

Great updates, I always make sure to wach this asap (you look cool with the beard again by the way)

[@DanelonNicolas]

Very cute... Very cute indeed 😅

First time see my name on the contributors list. It won't be the last time.✊

[@THE_ADMIN-dl3qk]

everybody say PIZZA 🍕 ‼️ 12:38

[@spatialfree]

is there an easy way to see what supported features are inherently farther out due to technical reasons, as id like to get my sites working nicely in ladybird sometime soon and want to be able to make informed decisions on which parts i should work around now and what parts i can just wait a bit for it to be supported later.

[@kreuner11]

You should ideally try to not work around any parts, Ladybird is meant to support the entire web, and not be itself a restrictive compatibility target (especially in the current pre-alpha where APIs move very fast). If you find any incompatibilities it would be nice to create a bug report with the minimized code that results in it.

[@manoloxmolotov810]

I've never been as excited for a project as I am with Ladybird. Really great job, I love these update videos!

Pizza! Let's go!

Browsers are black magic, so the unicursal hexagram logo makes sense.

[@Damglador]

I hope html flashing when page changes is temporary. Still, the browser looks awesome.

[@eruno_]

Nice

[@ay_kay_en]

I really love the presentations - how do you make them?

[@someguy9175]

Will the engine embed well into other projects? Sorta like blink and electron.

[@spiritofstar]

Not right now,but servo engine is embedded in tauri framework

[@fudencio]

really cool

Why do you give credit to Flow between these open source engines lol Let them taste the irrelevance

there is only a Linux and macOS version right now. you can try building it from source

Who is this browser for?

[@BruhKhokhols]

great question. do you know about chromium engine monopoly (with manifestv2 deprecation) and mozilla DEI bs? better to have alternative then not to have.

[@THE_ADMIN-dl3qk]

me silently waiting for windows support because i just cant manage to build it in wsl2 for some reason 😭
