Ladybird comes from Serenity OS which has a focus of having fun and being pragmatic while building everything from scratch incrementally. They do plan to switch to Swift: https://ladybird.org/#:~:text=Why%20build%20a%20new%20browser%20in https://ladybird.org/#:~:text=Why%20build%20a%20new%20browse... I appreciate their pragmatism though, it's allowed them to catch up to other alternative browsers in WPT coverage very quickly.

OK, fun is valid. And it's good to have expectations set. Open source people who are looking for a more trustworthy browser than Firefox will have to look elsewhere, though.

  Chrome and Edge have a context menu item to create a link like this when you select text ("Copy link to highlight"). Firefox 131 and up will highlight the relevant portion on the page but can't create new links in a user-friendly fashion.
