Can You Build a Web Browser? | Andreas Kling

Video Description

What does it really take to build a web browser from scratch? In this in-depth interview, Andreas Kling — the creator of the Ladybird browser and SerenityOS — shares his journey from working at Apple to founding an independent, open-source browser project completely free from corporate influence. We explore the surprising complexity behind rendering web pages, handling JavaScript, and building a modern browser engine with a small team. Andreas also opens up about leaving big tech, the challenges of performance, standards compliance, memory safety, and how Ladybird is proving that a few dedicated people can take on the giants!
