Is ladybird actually usable outside of serenity os?

  There are many ports. GTK, Qt, and Cocoa are the 3 that I am aware of.

I have more hope in Ladybird than Servo, TBH. Considering how young it is, Ladybird is already very impressive. Even just to take screenshots, Servo's renderer is very basic, slow and buggy.

  Hm... is Ladybird more feature complete than Servo at this point?

  I have more optimism for Ladybird as well. For me, That’s not a knock on Servo and mostly because it was started as a research project, which suggests you’re focusing more on experimentation than producing a product.

  I don't see Ladybird ever being seriously useful. Already serious browser projects like Brave, Arc, and Orion struggle to keep me off of Firefox. Servo is honestly doing the correct thing by focusing on embed-ability into other projects, something that has been basically dominated by Chrome alone

Ladybird is amazing. They move so fast and are building all of it in the open. I'm very impressed by what the Ladybird team is doing.

Why do we need another browser engine written in C++?

  Can you explain why people shouldn't pursue passion projects because they are written in a language you don't like?

    Not the parent, but my own opinion is that if a C/C++ passion project becomes successful, it burdens other people with yet another source of security vulnerabilities. This is even more so for small projects that didn't have the decades of security hardening of Firefox/Chrome behind them, and now people go to these projects assuming their security is on par with Firefox/Chrome.

      Why is your imaginary burden more important than someone's passion? I find Rust people to be really annoying these days if you can't even write software in the language you want to write without being a burden to society.

  Building an browser engine from scratch is a great exercise for validating both the specifications and the web platform tests. For example, here's some bugs raised by Andreas Kling in the HTML spec that were found while building Ladybird: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues?q=is%3Aissue+author%3Aawesomekling https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues?q=is%3Aissue+author%3A...
