- senfiajI am watching this project with interest.It's impressive that they're doing such titanic work. However, I'm highly skeptical that they can create a real rival to established browsers. I'm sorry for telling this, but Web standards are simply too complex and huge. Ladybird to Chrome / Firefox is almost like Wine / ReactOS to Windows, that last 3-5% of gap actually differentiates a normal browser from a browser that is a pain for web developers. And it's the most stubborn part to be fixed. Also, keep in mind that it hasn't much market, at least IE had a significant market that forced the developers to support it (with all the hate).https://waspdev.com/articles/2025-04-07/will-there-be-a-new-...
- neuralkoiI didn't expect to see Twitch working so soon!Ladybird seems to have received a nice boost in momentum in the past two years. If you've ever watched one of Andreas videos on YouTube you'll find he's incredibly driven and knowledgeable in this area. I can imagine someone like him would go from being a "10x programmer" to a "100x programmer" with AI assistance. I am not entirely sure to what degree AI is being leveraged to speed up development, but I am indeed happier I might be able to ditch FF and begin using their browser soon.
- binarymaxReally excited for alpha. When it hits I plan on using it for my daily driver to help them with usage stats and crash reports.
- Meneth> We also download over four parallel connections where possible.I hope you can turn that off. It fragments the file and puts unnecessary load on the server.
- jazzyjacksonThis is such a nerdy newsletter I love it
- Cider9986Are there other sites that get through ad blockers as well as Twitch?
- phendrenad2Feels like the old "browser wars" days again. Between AI productivity, and Google losing the grace to bloat the web specs, I wouldn't be surprised if it starts to take market share away from other browsers as soon as it's stable.
- viking_fullzlol this is such a funny scam. these investors are so easy to fool
