Cool, I installed it on a Mac with M1, which gives you a glimpse how fast live could be without bloat.

Using it shows how rotten the World Wide Web has become, with mandatory JavaScript everywhere, even on google.com, which I was not aware of.

I'm very much looking forward to Ladybird's first alpha release next August.

Note: DuckDuckGo still offers a perfectly usable JS-free search engine if you visit the website from a browser with no/disabled JS support. Almost all other major search engines now require JS to function.


Someone mentioned that you could install it using Brew. I was a little surprised how quickly it installed. Installing anything via Brew normally take a while, but apparently that's not the fault of Brew, stuff just have a large number of dependencies and a large package size.

The lack of JavaScript is an issue in terms of what sites work or even render properly, but damn everything is fast without it.
