Sam Atkins e667aaaab1 LibDevTools+LibWeb: Send IndexedDB change updates
The Storage panel expects storesUpdate messages after watched storage
changes. Summarize committed IndexedDB mutation logs into DevTools paths
and forward them through WebContent so Firefox can refresh database,
object-store, and record rows without polling.

Firefox's behaviour is less than ideal here. A lot of things don't
update automatically even inspecting a page in Firefox. Some
things (like new databases) won't show up until you fully refresh the
page. So that makes it a bit hard to know that we're doing things
correctly. As far as I can tell, we are at least behaving as well as
Firefox requires.

We do have one workaround: Firefox doesn't display record updates
without a manual refresh, and in fact any change messages for them show
up as rows in the host's database table. So for now, we filter them out
to avoid visual weirdness in the inspector.

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.
