Andreas Kling bbeb2eb69c LibWebView: Keep UI history authoritative during races
Keep UI process session history authoritative across overlapping
fallback loads and traversals. WebContent can finish a superseded
history load with a live document matching the UI seed URL while its
local step, document state id, and Navigation API keys still describe
a temporary partial list.

Reconstruct the current entry around the UI-owned list in that case.
This avoids making the UI process adopt WebContent's incomplete
snapshot.

Track UI-started fallback loads by URL so unrelated navigations cannot
consume the pending seed state. Resolve deferred WebDriver completions
through the view registry so callbacks queued before a process swap do
not touch a destroyed view.

Add WebDriver coverage that waits for explicit UI/WebContent history
convergence after the relevant document events. The waits poll
observable history state instead of depending on timing.

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.
