Implements https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/10007 which basically moves style, layout and painting from HTML processing task into HTML task with "rendering" source. The biggest difference is that now we no longer schedule HTML event loop processing whenever we might need a repaint, but instead queue a global rendering task 60 times per second that will check if any documents need a style/layout/paint update. That is a great simplification of our repaint scheduling model. Before we had: - Optional timer that schedules animation updates 60 hz - Optional timer that schedules rAF updates - PaintWhenReady state to schedule a paint if navigable doesn't have a rendering opportunity on the last event loop iteration Now all that is gone and replaced with a single timer that drives repainting at 60 hz and we don't have to worry about excessive repaints. In the future, hard-coded 60 hz refresh interval could be replaced with CADisplayLink on macOS and similar API on linux to drive repainting in synchronization with display's refresh rate. |

Ladybird
Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, using a novel engine based on web standards.
Important
Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers
Features
We aim to build a complete, usable browser for the modern web.
Ladybird uses a multi-process architecture with a main UI process, several WebContent renderer processes, an ImageDecoder process, and a RequestServer process.
Image decoding and network connections are done out of process to be more robust against malicious content. Each tab has its own renderer process, which is sandboxed from the rest of the system.
At the moment, many core library support components are inherited from SerenityOS:
- LibWeb: Web rendering engine
- LibJS: JavaScript engine
- LibWasm: WebAssembly implementation
- LibCrypto/LibTLS: Cryptography primitives and Transport Layer Security
- LibHTTP: HTTP/1.1 client
- LibGfx: 2D Graphics Library, Image Decoding and Rendering
- LibArchive: Archive file format support
- LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
- LibMedia: Audio and video playback
- LibCore: Event loop, OS abstraction layer
- LibIPC: Inter-process communication
How do I build and run this?
See build instructions for information on how to build Ladybird.
Ladybird runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (with WSL2), and many other *Nixes.
How do I read the documentation?
Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.
