Ladybird is a truly independent web browser built on a novel engine written from scratch based on web standards, with no forks of existing engines. It uses a multi-process, sandboxed architecture and is developed by a non-profit, currently in pre-alpha with an Alpha targeted for 2026.

Use cases

  • browse the web with a browser not controlled by a big tech company
  • test web standards compliance against an independent engine
  • contribute to or study a from-scratch browser engine codebase
  • develop and debug web content with a new rendering engine
  • run a privacy-focused browser with no monetization incentives

When to choose

  • you want to support or develop an independent, non-fork browser engine
  • you are a developer interested in browser internals, JS engines, or rendering
  • you need a cross-platform browser on Linux, macOS, or Windows (WSL2) for testing

When to avoid

  • you need a daily-driver browser with full modern web compatibility today
  • you require extensive extension ecosystem support
  • you need production stability or enterprise support
