| Ladybird is dogshit |

| ▲ | MYEUHD 19 hours ago | parent [-] | | Ladybird is still in early development. They don't provide binaries. I don't think it's fair to deem it "dogshit" at this point. |

| WebKit is a rendering engine, not a browser. It's a bit like saying "that isn't original art because you used Earth physics that govern how paint flows and dries. |

| ▲ | mdlxxv a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I dunno. It's more like saying "that isn't your original art because you didn't paint it, only provided the frame". A pretty elaborate frame, yes, but only the frame, not the painting. | | |
| ▲ | danpalmer a day ago | parent | next [-] | | I think this is underselling the browser UX. In many ways, Safari, Orion, Chrome, Brave, Opera, are all very different products despite all sharing the WebKit lineage. | |

| ▲ | mattmcal a day ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | The particular choice of the marketing phrase "from the ground up" sort of invites this kind of commentary on HN. This is hardly the first WebKit-based browser, so any commenter specifically holding their breath for a new, independent rendering and layout engine or JS engine might feel inclined to roll their eyes and snark. | |

| Can't you build (and design before that) an OS from ground up around Linux? |
| |
| ▲ | randallsquared a day ago | parent [-] | | Well, no, to be clear! There are a lot of decisions that are made already for you when you use something else as a foundation. |
