Move the layout tree from GC allocation to refcounted ownership so removed layout and paint subtrees are destroyed synchronously instead of waiting for the next GC sweep. This dramatically reduces GC memory usage peaks after layout tree churn and makes it easier for memory use to fall back after large document updates. Update layout factories, tree traversal, SVG layout node creation, paintable back-pointers, and pseudo-element layout links to use RefPtr ownership. Make display: contents follow the same shape as Blink and WebKit: the element itself does not create a layout node, and its children are flattened into the nearest layout parent. Wrap direct non-whitespace text in an anonymous inline node when the boxless element contributes inherited style to that text. Use an internal inline wrapper for display: contents pseudo-elements so generated content can still participate in layout, painting, hit testing, and pseudo-element queries. Keep CSSOM reporting the computed display value from the pseudo style, not the internal wrapper. Remove the retained out-of-tree layout node list and its testing hook, since the flattened model does not need a side owner for boxless elements. Add coverage for inherited text style, dynamic insertion order, pseudo-element hit testing, and computed style queries. |

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
- 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.
