Ladybird on Debian Stable

July 2, 2024 | debian | web | ladybird |

I’m so excited about the Ladybird browser. The dream of a fully free web browser that is not tied to any commercial interests or funded by ads inspires me. I hope to contribute to this project as much as I can.

I was able to get Ladybird compiled on Debian Stable in a VM, it works! It’s really special to see something that I think is going to make the web a better place this early in its life.

Here’s a few screenshots for your enjoyment:

Ladybird comes with some basic browser dev tools too.

Thank you for reading! Share your thoughts with me on bluesky, mastodon, or via email.
