Ladybird is a new web browser project designed with a focus on web standards and devoid of monetization strategies, addressing concerns about existing browsers funded by advertising. The project was announced by Chris Wanstrath, noting that even open source browsers rely on Google's funding. Unlike established browsers like Chrome and Firefox, which depend on partnerships with Google, Ladybird aims to provide a browser purely focused on user experience. Currently, Ladybird is in early development, with plans for multi-platform support, although installation requires technical skills to build from source code.
Ladybird is an independent project to create a web browser with a new engine that is strictly based on web standards and will never include any monetization.
Every major browser engine is open source, but they're all funded by Google's advertising empire.
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc, and Opera all use Google's Chromium, while Apple and Firefox receive significant funds from Google for search deals.
Although Ladybird is still in early development, the intention is to support Linux, MacOS, and Windows, despite the challenging installation process.
