Anyone got a view on the proposed new Ladybird Browser?
Ladybird - J'ai compilé le navigateur "anti-Chrome" et... c'est pas encore ça

Again, further reading has allowed me to answer my own question. SerenityOS was an itch-scratching project where the goal was to try out entirely new approaches. One of the reasons for spinning Ladybird into its own entity is to move away from that, and start making use of existing code where it makes sense.
"I love SerenityOS, and I love the community that has formed around it. I don’t want to hold it back anymore by being a distracted BDFL. This is why I’ve also decided to step down. Effective immediately, SerenityOS is now in the hands of its maintainer group. They’re a lovely bunch of people, and I trust they’ll take good care of it."

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces

#SerenityOS in a vm is worth a try for that classic what-if-windows-95-was-based-on-unix alternative reality feel. XD
