New browser engine, Ladybird, attracts $200,000 in donations in single day

SerenityOS is an operating system Andreas Kling and dozens of contributors have been working on that's a "love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core" that's got a nice community of people hacking away at it. Ladybird is its web browser, also designed from scratch and isn't based off WebKit or Blink or Gecko like every other web browser. Over the weekend Ladybird received two separate US$100,000 anonymous donations. We don't know who these donors are, but it'll help chip away at the dominance of Apple and Google in what is in my opinion, the most important computing platform - the world wide web.
