Ladybird browser spreads its wings

-source project aimed at building an independent web browser, rather than yet another browser based on Chrome. It is written in C++ and licensed under a two-clause BSD license.

(Kling posts monthly updates to his YouTube channel about Ladybird, as well as hacking videos where he walks through working on various components in the browser, such as the JavaScript JIT compiler.) In addition, Kling has relaxed his self-imposed policy of excluding "not invented here" (NIH) code that had applied to SerenityOS, which means that the Ladybird project will be able to make use of existing libraries rather than writing from scratch. Each Ladybird tab has its own render process, which is sandboxed as a security measure to prevent any malicious pages from affecting the rest of the system.
