You can see how Ladybird is "progressing" right now because of AI. I think it's a shame because now AI would just be using parts from chromium or Firefox, and they're going to encouter eventually an unmaintainable codebase. How a new browser engine helps here then?
The design of Ladybird follows the web standards closely as well. It is going to be quite different from older engines. And the code is quite organized, if your concern is AI slop from layers and layers of AI added features. I do not think that is how they are using it at all.
My biggest gripe with Ladybird is that they adopted some pretty large components written by Google. You cannot really use Skia and say that you do not rely on Google as an example.
Not relying on Google was their big selling point, since every other browser is Google-dependent.
