# Ladybird
|
|
|
|
[Ladybird](https://ladybird.org) 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
|
|
