Transcripts

[Music]

well hello friends welcome to the

ladybird browser update for July

2024 uh the first thing that I want to

talk about today is how we have created

a

nonprofit uh now this was a pretty big

announcement but if you haven't seen it

already we have created the ladybird

browser initiative which is a 501c3

nonprofit founded in California United

States and uh

the inaugural board of directors are

myself and Chris wroth who is the former

co-founder and uh CEO of

GitHub uh we are also speaking with a

number of candidates to expand the board

of directors but we don't have a

specific person yet um and the mission

of this nonprofit is to build a truly

independent web browser and give it away

for free forever uh

we also want to never monetize our users

in any way so this means that we're not

going to do any kind of default search

engine deals we're not going to do any

kind of cryptocurrency tokens and uh

we're not going to do anything really

where we try to make money off of having

users instead it's strictly based on

donations and sponsorships from

companies that uh care about the open

web having a an independent

browser um and we also believe it's part

of our mission to increase the diversity

of the browser ecosystem there have been

fewer and fewer engines in the recent

years and we believe that the ecosystem

will be healthier with more engines so

we are making our own engine and trying

to contribute in that

way and of course we also want to verify

that web standards are actually

implementable uh some people argue that

web standards and specifications are out

of control that you can't Implement them

and and um by making a new engine we are

actually verifying whether or not this

is true we're we're checking if it's

possible to implement them uh and this

so far has led to a lot of bug reports

and specs uh which is also very healthy

for the browser

ecosystem so our road map looks roughly

like this this is a very high level road

map we are currently in the pre-alpha

stage so ladybird right now is just a

test bed for a new browser engine um but

we are aiming to put out an alpha

version in

2026 uh which aims to be a daily driver

for developers like ourselves and also

for courageous early adopters um and

then the alpha program will hopefully

generate so much feedback that we can um

do a beta in 2027 which would be a

downloadable app for Mac OS and Linux a

bit more user friendly and our hope is

to have a stable release for the general

public in 202

8 uh now this is a very ambitious

timeline uh as anybody who's actually

familiar with the scope of what we're

doing will tell

you but I do believe that we are on good

track and we are working on a more

detailed breakdown of what actually has

to happen for for these steps to to um

succeed uh and we will be sharing the

more detailed road map with you as well

going forward um when it bit more

finished uh so uh this is all possible

thanks to our sponsors of course so um

we have a number of new sponsors and uh

some old ones that are still with us so

uh we're super super grateful um to all

these companies and individuals uh these

are our largest

sponsors and um we also have

um couple of hundred IND idual persons

who have signed up to be recurring

sponsors as well so um this is fantastic

and check out ladyb bird. org if you

want to learn more about the nonprofit

or if you're interested in sponsoring

us okay so let's look at July

2024 now we've seen 359 poll requests

from 77 contributors uh and there's been

work in a whole bunch of different areas

uh one particularly interesting one is

the web platform tests so if you're not

familiar this is a test suite for the

web platform which um all browsers

contribute to essentially so uh all the

big browsers they all contribute test

cases and then everybody can run those

test cases and it's kind of a a shared

project in that way to improve

interoperability and one of our big

goals is that we want to run the web

platform test and be part of this thing

uh so this month we've seen some

substantial stability improvements um we

have joined the WPT FYI staging area so

WPT FYI is a uh dashboard web page where

uh you can see sort of how every browser

is doing right now on the web platform

tests and we want to publish there as

well uh we're not on the WPT FYI proper

because we still have a little bit of

Jank in our testing setup but we are in

the staging area so you can check it out

on staging WBT FYI I think uh I'll put a

link in the

description and uh new this month is

that we can do parallel runs so um

previously we had some trouble with that

but now uh we're able to run you know

eight tests in parallel 16 tests in

parallel it's really depending on

Hardware limitations really um and this

is drastically improving our cycle times

uh and Tim is right now looking at

migrating this whole thing to a

dedicated Runner because he's been

running our WPT run on his home PC at

night uh and that's not the best setup

so we have a separate machine we're

looking at migrating there are some

issues with um running it in an

automated fashion but um we're expecting

to have this have this up and going in

the very near future and uh we will then

begin publishing to WPT FYI proper and

uh that means that you can go there and

find random test failures with these

like little unit tests that fail uh

which are often extremely approachable

for anybody who's interested in uh

fixing a bug in a browser engine uh

finding tiny little failures on

WPT um really good first

issues and also this month we have some

very good news about our wasm test Suite

compliance we now

pass 100% of the wasm test Suite uh this

is a test Suite that is

part of the wasm specification so it's

like it's maintained alongside of it in

the same get repo uh we now pass all the

tests thanks to uh Diego and Ali who

worked very hard on this this month um

and they uh had to implement a bunch of

simd stuff I think that was the last

remaining

thing so very

cool uh we also have a bunch of new

thirdparty libraries coming in this

month uh these four so simd UTF is a

package of um SD optimized routines for

Unicode and base 64 so we use those for

really fast utf8 utf16 and base 64 um

conversions uh very very cool we also

have three image um codec libraries for

webp avif and jpeg XL uh these are

things that we would have implemented

ourselves before but but now we um use

the industry standard libraries for them

which means that we were able to throw

away thousands of our own C thousands of

lines of our own old

C++ um in favor of these like mature

well tested high performance libraries

so this is really good as well because

um essentially we are looking for

thirdparty libraries that Supply

functionality that are not sort of core

browser engine competencies if that

makes sense so stuff that is like

loading an image format is not really a

browser engine uh core competency uh so

we would rather lean on the open source

ecosystem get something that works

really well and then focus more on the

browser engine

stuff so yeah this is really really

exciting I think the um SD enhanced

Unicode stuff gave us some really good

performance boosts across the

board and uh speaking of thirdparty

libraries we have now made skia the

default Graphics

Library uh and that means that we are

now using the GPU whenever possible we

rasterize on the GPU instead of using

CPU instructions uh which gives us a

massive speed up on 2D

Graphics um it is just much much faster

you notice it

everywhere um and CSS transforms now

just work so previously we could do um

translate and rotate oh no translate and

scale transforms they were the ones we

could do uh but we couldn't do rotate or

arbitrary um matrices and and things

like that they would just kind of fall

apart and become some variant of scaling

or translation instead uh but now we

have proper transforms it looks great is

fast

amazing we also have a bunch of CSS

improvements of course so we have the

has selector although it is very

unoptimized so um it's something that

we're going to have to keep iterating on

but at least the functionality is there

so if somebody uses it we still select

the element uh we also have the host

selector for selecting the uh host

element of a shadow tree from within

that shadow tree it's a bit of a

mindbending CSS

selector um we now propagate CSS

variables into the shadow Dom um the way

that we're supposed to so they are

inherited through the the shadow

boundary

and we have a bunch of new color

functions uh and we also have fit

content support for CSS grid layout

which turns out was used in a bunch of

places um and we also started

invalidating pseudo element style which

means that for example if you hover over

a pseudo element uh and there's some

style specific to that in the CSS then

we now actually update that pseudo

element instead of uh instead of just

not reacting when the state of a pseudo

element

changes uh we also have CSS counters

they are new this month and here is an

example of us using them to number our

view Source view so um the digits on the

left side here that represent the line

numbers are CSS counters they're

generated not part of the content but

just autogenerated by CSS uh this was

implemented by Sam very cool

and now I would like to give you a demo

of where ladybird is right

now and here we are on my Mac OS desktop

let's fire up ladybird and visit some of

our new sponsors starting with Futo so

Futo is kind of a tech Freedom

organization they want to um build

software that provide alternatives to

Big tech software so these are some of

the things they're building in house and

they also run a a big grants program uh

which is uh where we come in because we

are the recipients of one of their

grants um so big shout outs to Futo for

sponsoring us and uh check them out at

f.org

uh another sponsor we should visit is

null.com because we've done a bunch of

work on their website this month um in

particular they really benefit from the

integration of skia as our um new

default rasterizer so you can really see

the background effect here with a blurry

radial gradient on top of a bunch of

text uh this is something that our

previous rasterizer which we inherited

from Serenity OS which was uh running on

the CPU only it just couldn't handle

this page um and Alex has done a ton of

great work this month on um making us

sit on top of skia and then getting skia

to talk to the GPU on both uh Linux and

Mac OS and then uh

moving our text uh rendering into skia

as well and all of the all that stuff

combined makes this nice smooth effect

here finally and this is really awesome

to see because with the previous

rasterizer we would just choke and die

when loading this page and now it's

actually downright smooth and uh we

still stutter a bit when you're

scrolling

but um the fact that that it works so

well now is really really good and

scroll scrolling um we have a long way

to go with making scrolling fast because

we actually repaint the whole page uh

every step of the scroll so we don't

cach or or retain anything between

frames so there's a ton of stuff we can

do to make scrolling go fast uh we just

haven't done it yet uh but yeah so very

very cool and of course shout outs to

null for sponsoring us uh let's visit

another sponsor Tuple

doapp uh they recently redesigned their

web page I know I spent a bunch of time

making their previous website work but

uh their new website which looks quite a

bit nicer than the old one actually um

Works reasonably well in ladybird

although we're definitely seeing a bunch

of stutter here and I think there are

some small blemishes in the layout oh

look at that stud yeah we're going to

have to debug this and figure out what's

going on um but it is really nice to see

that it's looking reasonably correct

just um needs a bit of

love H I don't think this demo here is

working correctly either it's supposed

to reveal

um like more and less of that veiled

application so yeah we have some

debugging to do on this site but yeah

Tuple is a pairing software that we use

um sometimes when pairing with each

other um working on ladybird so it's

really cool to have them as a sponsor of

the project as well uh another sponsor

is the packet Clearing House which is a

it's an international Treaty

Organization that um they provide a

bunch of Operational Support for like

the internet backbone so stuff like

peering and uh various security things

and I am not um super familiar with that

world but this is their site and

um they uh decided to sponsor ladybird

because they like what we're doing and

they like the potential impact that we

might have on the world so that is

really really cool of them so shout outs

to

PCH um all right

and why don't we visit ladyb bird. org

in ladybird um there are definitely a

couple issues here like the backgrounds

don't look quite correct

but scrolling is nice and

smooth and uh here are our sponsors oh

we should also visit play bit by the way

um let's do that

momentarily or you know what let's open

it in a second

tab it didn't open in a second tab well

this is play bit anyway they are

building a fourth generation operating

system it's uh Rasmus andeson and crew

working on this uh so they're building

some kind of um uh very curious blend of

like posix and web GPU and and um

definitely something to check out and

shout outs to playit for sponsoring

ladybird we really appreciate that let

me see why that open and tab thing

didn't

happen

um maybe maybe it's just command tab or

command click that didn't work yeah so

this is busan's uh website Bastian is a

he's not a company he just basan and he

decided to sponsor us as well and he

said that he thinks that it's um he

wants to show up here uh even if he's

not a company because he wants people to

see that um individuals can sponsor lady

birt as well so uh check out bastian's

website at turbo.com and thank you

Bastian for sponsoring us and um the

remaining sponsors here are uh sponsors

that we bring with us from before uh but

of course we still appreciate their

support as well so dang it now I command

clicked again uh

Shopify there you still have the same

website I am

surprised um and we also have

Ona let just visit everybody while we're

at

it

h i wonder if my internet connection has

failed or something

let's relaunch ladybird you never know

it's pre-alpha

software

shopify.com

all right on a

muckler looking all right

um think we need to get cracking here on

CSS support for open type variable fonts

CU this is supposed to be a bit um

heavier the text but we don't recognize

uh variable fonts this is something that

um we will be getting pretty soon I

think as we move more of our text

rendering Pipeline on top of skio um so

that's something to look forward to for

sure the layout here looks a little

suspicious I think we have some work to

do but um on the whole pretty okay and

of course shout outs to onak for

sponsoring us last year um oh this is

the way Shopify looks right so this is

the way it looked um I feel like a year

ago

almost um if anybody from Shopify is

watching maybe it's time to do something

fresh and interesting with your with

your landing page not that there's

anything wrong with it I've just I've

seen it so many

times um we need to figure out why start

your trial start your free trial here is

not um spaced

apart but

yeah just going through all the sponsors

and visiting them in ladybird it's cool

that their websites are

working and uh we really appreciate all

of your support um and if you would like

to receive email about Ladybird every

month then sign up for our newsletter on

the website by the way just put your

email in here and we will email you uh

all

right okay so before we go I definitely

want to thank all of our contributors

these are the names of of all the people

who committed something in the month of

July

2024 uh thank you all so much for

working on ladybird I am so glad that so

many of you come and do this with us

it's super fun and everybody brings

their own uh sort of itch scratching to

the project it's so great uh so thank

you all very much and thank you as well

for watching the video for staying up to

date with lady bird project um we also

have a newsletter if you prefer reading

over videos you can sign up for that on

ladyb bird. org um it has roughly the

same information as these videos but uh

a little bit of difference and this was

our first time doing a newsletter so um
