Before this change, we would go through every known pseudo element and compute style for it whenever recomputing the style of an element. This led to disastrous performance on pages with selectors like `::selection` or `::placeholder`, as they'd effectively match every single element and thus we'd compute multiple additional styles for every element in the DOM. The fix is simple: only recompute `before` and `after` pseudo element styles, since those are the only two pseudo elements that generate *new* nodes -- other pseudo elements refer to (possibly) existing nodes or concepts within the DOM (or internal shadow DOM). This makes style updates take ~40ms on our GitHub repo instead of ~220ms. It's still slower than it should be, but a huge improvement. |

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
- LibArchive: Archive file format support
- LibUnicode: Unicode and locale support
- LibAudio, 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.
