The primary purpose of these is to add bounds checking to older OpenGL
API calls that take arbitrarily sized buffers, but don't know the size
of the buffer and thus rely on the application being certain the buffer
is large enough.
Since these API calls are exposed to arbitrary JS which can make
arbitrarily sized buffers, it is not safe to use the non-robust
variants, as we cannot know the size of the buffer ahead of time, nor
the amount of data required by the API call.
The robust variants provided by ANGLE adds a buffer size parameter,
where it'll calculate the amount of data it needs for that API call
for us and return an error if it's bigger than the given buffer size.

Ladybird
Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, using a novel engine based on web standards.
Important
Ladybird is in a pre-alpha state, and only suitable for use by developers
Features
We aim to build a complete, usable browser for the modern web.
Ladybird uses a multi-process architecture with a main UI process, several WebContent renderer processes, an ImageDecoder process, and a RequestServer process.
Image decoding and network connections are done out of process to be more robust against malicious content. Each tab has its own renderer process, which is sandboxed from the rest of the system.
At the moment, many core library support components are inherited from SerenityOS:
- LibWeb: Web rendering engine
- LibJS: JavaScript engine
- LibWasm: WebAssembly implementation
- LibCrypto/LibTLS: Cryptography primitives and Transport Layer Security
- LibHTTP: HTTP/1.1 client
- LibGfx: 2D Graphics Library, Image Decoding and Rendering
- LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
- LibMedia: Audio and video playback
- LibCore: Event loop, OS abstraction layer
- LibIPC: Inter-process communication
How do I build and run this?
See build instructions for information on how to build Ladybird.
Ladybird runs on Linux, macOS, Windows (with WSL2), and many other *Nixes.
How do I read the documentation?
Code-related documentation can be found in the documentation folder.
