Ladybird web browser funded by GitHub co-founder, promises 'no code' from rivals

"promises ‘no code’ from rivals"

The article is quite good, but the headline seems clickbait and wrong.

I do not recall Kling making such statements, rather:

"we implement web standards ourselves,” ruling out adopting a third-party engine in its entirety."

So not just using webkit, yes. But copying code how to handle a CSS case, or a wasm implementation, is not ruled out as far as I know.

From ladybird.org:

> What does "No code from other browsers" really mean?

> The focus of the Ladybird project is to build a new browser engine from the ground up. We don't use code from Blink, WebKit, Gecko, or any other browser engine.

Ok then, my bad, I have not checked the website, but I think that quote should belong in the article as well.

(And I also would disagree to that absolute choice of using no other browser code at all)

"We implement web standards ourselves" would seem to be entirely at odds with your last sentence.
