I moved CSS transform and opacity animations off the main thread in @ladybirdbrowser and I just love it so much ๐คฉ
Now we can chew on all that JS framework bloat while elements fade in and fly around smoothly!

We're getting serious about @ladybirdbrowser performance.
StyleBench is now up ~22x since last month! ๐
Also making steady incremental progress on Speedometer 2 & 3. Hundreds of small inefficiencies to deal with, one by one..
This month we're digging into style & layout performance in @ladybirdbrowser
Great results on StyleBench so far (~12x faster already!)
The major browser engines are roughly 2x faster still, but the gap is shrinking ๐ค๐ฅ

Breaking free from the giants doesn't come for free and neither does building a truly independent browser from the ground up. Looking forward to the alpha release later this year! ๐
Very grateful for another year of support by @sjors_lemniscap! ๐

Backing a browser built from scratch? Easiest yes we have said all year. ๐
No forks, no shortcuts, no user monetization. Just an independent engine for the open web. That is our kind of ambition.
Go @ladybirdbrowser. We are cheering loudly.
Thrilled to announce that @HeyKinde is supporting Ladybird with a donation of $5,000! ๐
Thank you for helping us achieve our goals! ๐

Ladybird is moving into a new phase as we work toward our first alpha release.
We are tightening how code enters the project: going forward, code changes will only be introduced by project maintainers, and we will no longer accept public pull requests.

The Ladybird alpha channel will start some time in 2026. It's going to be rough!
The main purpose of the alpha is to collect bug reports and learn where to focus for beta. We hope people will understand this and not get too excited :)
