Earlier quoted context omitted.

But how to pass tests securely, is completely different problem. This is conformance testing. But impressive regardless.

Can you elaborate? What do you mean by how to pass tests securely? It doesn't read like you mean security tests but otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about.

Conformance testing means that you meet certain specifications. It tells nothing about how you handle data which is different from the specs or random data; or in other words, the root of most security problems.

The linked tweet notes that this is an important milestone in getting Ladybird considered as an alternative browser engine in iOS.

...in the EU at least, anywhere else Apple is going to say "no" regardless of how good your engine is.

Me as engineer: it's wild a big corporation dictates a quality bar and limit API access for 3rd party software. Me as customer: oh man I'm sure glad stuff is reviewed to some quality bar and the OS limits API access.

You couldn't figure out by yourself not to use a dysfunctional browser?

There is a big jump in the graph! I wonder what contributed to that big improvement.

This PR added ~6400 passes for some css stuff. That's not enough to warrant the spike I think, but surely helped: https://github.com/LadybirdBrowser/ladybird/pull/6370
