Ladybird 是一個從零寫起的瀏覽器，可以參考作者在「Ladybird: A new cross-platform browser project」這邊的介紹。
在 GitHub 上的頁面可以看到「This repository has been archived by the owner on Dec 25, 2022. It is now read-only.」，目前的專案是放在 SerenityOS 裡面：「The Ladybird web browser has moved into the SerenityOS monorepo.」。
結果作者提到收到了 US$100,000 的 sponsor，指名 Ladybird browser：
I have received a $100,000 sponsorship specifically for Ladybird browser development! 🤓🐞🌍
More details to come..

而他發出來不久以後，又有另外一筆捐款，也是 US$100,000 但是是透過虛擬貨幣，所以他要找會計師：
In a surprising twist, I have just received a second $100,000 sponsorship for Ladybird development! 🤯🐞🌍
This one came in the form of an anonymous cryptocurrency donation, so now I need to talk to my tax accountant ASAP and figure out what to do.. 😅

是個強制加速開發的方式... 現在的瀏覽器幾乎就是 Blink + WebKit 統一天下，用自家 Gecko 的 Firefox 整天在搞事，好像是有機會看到新的 engine 與瀏覽器挑戰了...
