Andrew Kaster 29b4f21c7b WebContent: Add shutdown_server IPC call to request process exit
This ensures that removing the last view from a WebContentClient will
close its associated process, assuming the WebContent process is not
hung. A more drastic measure will be needed to trigger forcefully
killing the process when it doesn't respond to this request.

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
  • LibAudio, 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.
