Regardless of the language it is written in, one thing that I hope Ladybird will focus on when the time comes is a user-respecting Javascript implementation. Regardless of what the Web standards say, it is unacceptable that websites can (ab)use JS against the users for things such as monitoring presence/activity, disabling paste, and extracting device information beyond what is strictly necessary for an acceptably formatted website. One approach could be to report standardized (spoofed) values across the user base so that Ladybird users are essentially indistinguishable from each other (beyond the originating IP). This is more or less the approach taken by Tor, and where a project like Ladybird could make a real difference.
