Ladybird

Welcome to Ladybird, a truly independent web browser.

We are building a brand-new browser from scratch, backed by a non-profit.

Ladybird is a brand-new browser & web engine. Driven by a web standards first approach, Ladybird aims to render the modern web with good performance, stability and security.

From its humble beginnings as an HTML viewer for the SerenityOS hobby operating system project, Ladybird has since grown into a cross-platform browser supporting Linux, macOS, and other Unix-like systems.

Ladybird is currently in heavy development. We are targeting a first Alpha release for early adopters in 2026.

What makes Ladybird unique

• Truly Independent
  • No code from other browsers. We’re building a new engine, based on web standards.
• Singular focus
  • We are focused on one thing: the web browser
• No monetization
  • No “default search deals”, crypto tokens, or other forms of user monetization, ever.

Get Involved

Ladybird is currently in heavy development, and there’s work to be done in all areas of the browser.

We’re welcoming new developers every week. The main community hub is our Discord server.

All the code is hosted on GitHub. Clone it, build it, and join our Discord if you want to collaborate on it! We’re looking forward to seeing you there.
