I have never built a browser so pardon my ignorance, but is the Ladybird browser team blazing a new trail in browser tech instead of following the same old path of KHTML/WebKit/Gecko?
The constraints of 1990s are no longer there in 2024, and many new novel breakthroughs are available that might not have existed back then.
Andreas is one of the most qualified people on the planet to know where this new trail is and actually make it happen. Many foundational parts will probably look familiar or very similar, but he's been talking about the possibilities of a clean slate project since the beginning of the browser.
(He was working on the big browser teams before SerenityOS and Ladybird)
