# Ladybird
|
||||
|
||||
Ladybird is a web browser built on the [LibWeb](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/tree/master/Userland/Libraries/LibWeb) and [LibJS](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/tree/master/Userland/Libraries/LibJS) engines from [SerenityOS](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity) with a cross-platform GUI in Qt.

Ladybird is a web browser built on the [LibWeb](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/tree/master/Userland/Libraries/LibWeb) and [LibJS](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/tree/master/Userland/Libraries/LibJS) engines from [SerenityOS](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity).
|
||||
The Browser UI has a cross-platform GUI in Qt6 and a macOS-specific GUI in AppKit.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information about Ladybird, see [this blog post](https://awesomekling.github.io/Ladybird-a-new-cross-platform-browser-project/).
|
||||
Ladybird aims to be a standards-compliant, independent web browser with no third-party dependencies.
|
||||
Currently, the only dependencies are UI frameworks like Qt6 and AppKit, and low-level platform-specific
|
||||
libraries like PulseAudio, CoreAudio and OpenGL.
|
||||
|
||||
See [build instructions](../Documentation/BuildInstructionsLadybird.md).
|
||||
> [!IMPORTANT]
|
||||
> Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers
|
||||
|
||||
## Features
|
||||
|
||||
The Ladybird browser application uses a multiprocess architecture with a main UI process, several WebContent renderer processes,
|
||||
an ImageDecoder process, a RequestServer process, and a SQLServer process for holding cookies.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
All the core library support components are developed in the serenity monorepo:
|
||||
|
||||
- LibWeb: Web Rendering Engine
|
||||
- LibJS: JavaScript Engine
|
||||
- LibWasm: WebAssembly implementation
|
||||
- LibCrypto/LibTLS: Cryptography primitives and Transport Layer Security (rather than OpenSSL)
|
||||
- LibHTTP: HTTP/1.1 client
|
||||
- LibGfx: 2D Graphics Library, Image Decoding and Rendering (rather than skia)
|
||||
- LibArchive: Archive file format support (rather than libarchive, zlib)
|
||||
- LibUnicode, LibLocale: Unicode and Locale support (rather than libicu)
|
||||
- LibAudio, LibVideo: Audio and Video playback (rather than libav, ffmpeg)
|
||||
- LibCore: Event Loop, OS Abstraction layer
|
||||
- LibIPC: Inter-Process Communication
|
||||
- ... and more!

||||
