Ladybird is a truly independent web browser built with a novel engine based on web standards. It uses a multi‑process architecture with sandboxed renderer processes for each tab.

Use cases

  • Browse modern websites on Linux with a sandboxed renderer.
  • Develop and test web standards compliance using an independent browser engine.
  • Run a lightweight, multi‑process web browser on macOS for experimental features.
  • Explore web content in a secure, out‑of‑process environment on Windows via WSL2.
  • Contribute to a pre‑alpha browser project and help shape its future.

When to choose

  • You need a browser that isolates each tab in its own process for security testing.
  • You are a developer interested in experimenting with a novel web engine.
  • You want a cross‑platform browser that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows (WSL2).

When to avoid

  • You require a stable, production‑ready browser for daily use.
  • You need extensive extension support or a large ecosystem of add‑ons.
  • You are looking for a browser with guaranteed compatibility with all commercial web sites.
