I love Andreas Kling's "Browser hacking" series on YouTube where he fixes various issues Ladybird has with specific websites. E.g:

Fixing a CSS layout bug found by chessboard.js - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMpLiEgKC_w

Let's make "Cookie Clicker" playable in Ladybird! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4SxKWwFhA0

He's very good at articulating his thought progress and it's always really interesting to see how he reduces the bug down into a minimal reproducible example.

Clearly I have no idea what Ladybird browser is. Why should I be impressed? I would expect every browser to be capable of this. EDIT: Lots of great answers. Thanks everyone. Glad this inspired such lively discussion.

Ladybird is the browser being developed for SerenityOS, the "love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core"[0]

Ladybird is a from-scratch browser on a from-scratch OS.

Because it's actually a new browser, not just a wrapper/reskin around webkit, gecko or blink.
