    Yes and they implement EVERYTHING in house. In case you haven’t heard they also started implementing a browser engine from scratch https://ladybird.dev/ just for fun. It kinda took off and they even got some nice donations, just to keep it going and see where it leads.

    The “founders” youtube channel is quit interesting. Especially the monthly update videos if you want to keep up to date with the latest developments. https://inv.tux.pizza/channel/UC3ts8coMP645hZw9JSD3pqQ

      Yikes.

      Building everything from scratch is one thing.

      Maintaining it is completely different.

      tried it out in a VM, I was truly impressed by that browser.

      I mean, sure, lots of pages don’t work, but lots of pages DOES work on it, with no issues.

      Never seen this on any custom, “built in” browser of an alternative OS.

        The browser was at first only available in serentyOS itself but lately is available as a stand alone program running on other OSs as well. It’s still pretty early days, I am exited to see where all this leads tho!
