Andreas Kling - Ladybird: Building a new browser from scratch

What does it take to build a web browser from scratch in 2025? In this talk, I'll introduce Ladybird, a truly independent browser being built for the modern web. Ladybird isn't a fork of some existing browser—it’s a ground-up implementation of the web platform, balancing compatibility with sustainability for a small team on a modest budget. I'll share the story of how Ladybird came to life, the challenges we've faced along the way, and what's next for this ambitious project. https://2025.stateofthebrowser.com/speaker/andreas-kling/
