Ladybird browser engine merged 217 PRs in October, achieving over 90% Web Platform Tests pass rate—a milestone for iOS alternative browser eligibility. Major updates include HTTP disk caching, audio/video synchronization with multi-track support, Trusted Types DOM integration, XPath evaluation support via libxml2, and CSS Typed OM progress. Performance improvements span JavaScript string operations, object property access, and rendering optimizations. WebGL enhancements fixed Google Maps Globe View issues and improved buffer support. The project added pinch-to-zoom on macOS, accessibility DevTools, CSS gradient improvements, and achieved first successful runs on Windows with Gamepad API support.
