Ladybird faces an uphill website compatibility battle thanks to Chrome dominance. I wish them all the best.

They are writing the browser from the ground up following web specifications, specifications Google themselves often write and maintain. So it should just work once it's done, great talk by the lead Dev that goes into a lot more detail on that and just the project in general. https://youtu.be/9YM7pDMLvr4

As far as I understand most websites load so far (slowly) and will be aout 90% correct, but with visual issues

Iโ€™m of the opinion that Google produces the specifications in bad faith, choosing features and constructions that are costly to implement to prevent others from entering the market. For example, see WebUSB. Itโ€™s a completely unnecessary standard at the very least and waste developer time. Other browsers have not bothered to implement it, generally calling it out for being a dumb specification.

With that said yes there are standards, but primarily pushed and controlled by one company that is not interested in others writing web browsers. Hopefully theyโ€™re forced to divest themselves from Chrome.

You seem to know more about it than I do, and I generally agree with your assessment. Either way ladybird has a talented team of paid engineers and tons of community contributors, so I'm choosing to believe in them even if Google is doing their best to stop them!

Yeah I already can't rely on just Firefox and keep chrome around as a last resort backup. I'll be trying Ladybird out for sure though always good to help test new browser options
