This blogpost starts with me switching of my car radio, and ends with me writing a browser. There is some stuff in between as well.

Interesting take from the author; exactly the kind of thing that might start something big — or maybe it won’t, and that’s OK, too. Either way, I can appreciate the attitude!

(There’s also a discussion on the orange site)

    The author is a bit early announcing their browser at the “proof of concept for an HTML parser” stage. Ladybird is probably a better “new” browser to follow. Originally written as a browser for SerenityOS, Ladybird is now actually getting funded to build the web engine into something practical.

    It’s still in its early stages; layouts don’t look right, Javascript is very very slow, frequent crashes and errors, but on the other hand, it’s developing quite rapidly for a complete browser rewrite.

      Thanks for pointing out Ladybird. It’s a pretty exciting project. But the author isn’t early in “announcing” anything. This isn’t a press release. He posted on his own blog about a pet project. That’s what the web is supposed to be. Not everything has to be for a big purpose or compete with everything else.
