The Ladybird Browser Initiative was announced on July 1st, 2024, introducing an independent, open-source web browser developed from scratch. Ladybird utilizes a new engine based on web standards, distinct from other browsers, and supports various platforms like Linux and macOS. While currently functional for tasks like managing GitHub issues, the browser is continuously evolving with bug fixes and new features contributed by the community. The initiative aims to transform Ladybird into a fast, stable, privacy-focused browser for everyday use, funded solely by sponsorships and donations. The non-profit organization behind the initiative will ensure the software remains free and open-source, with a diverse board of directors overseeing its development. The project's leaders, including the project founder Andreas Kling and former GitHub CEO Chris Wanstrath, are dedicated to creating a user-friendly browser for the modern web.
