What Hacker News says
6 sourcesThe page loads fine in Ladybird[1] on Arch. It's the browser purpose-built for SerenityOS[2] using a in-house HTTP/JS/TLS engine that hasn't matured to the point of practical usability yet. If I were a site administrator using some kind of weird metric to block a browser, this thing would definitely go on the blacklist.
As for a more common uncommon browser, GNOME Web (WebKit) also works fine.
Whatever is causing you to get blocked, it's not the browser engine you're using. Check your plugins, antivirus, MITM engines, and whatever else messes with your connection. It could also be a simple IP block because of a bad IP neighbour or a shared CGNAT server.

In Upgrading from Debian Jessie to Bullseye after nearly 30 yearsOoh, ooh.
I'm on Ubuntu, and it looks like I need to upgrade to 22.04 before I can experience the build process for myself.

The repo itself is shockingly tiny: https://github.com/awesomekling/ladybird. Looks like it needs https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity as well. https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/tree/master/Userland/... is 100kLoC which is also surprisingly small.
