Welcome to a new browser!

> Ladybird uses a brand new engine based on web standards, without borrowing any code from other browsers. It started as a humble HTML viewer for the SerenityOS hobby project, but since then it's grown into a full cross-platform browser project supporting Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems. — https://ladybird.org/announcement.html

This is good for the Web!

@gormster "Ladybird started as a component of the SerenityOS hobby project, which only allows C++. […] we have almost half a million lines of modern C++ to maintain. However, now that Ladybird has forked […] all constraints previously imposed by SerenityOS are no longer in effect. We are actively evaluating a number of alternatives […] prototypes exist in multiple languages."
