There are 2 screenshots : one with a menu and one without . Which one is real ?

The one with a menu is the SerenityOS browser, not Ladybird browser. It is not supported on Linux. Ladybird is a demo of the browser engine used in that other browser ported to Linux, so it's very bare-bones and only has a URL bar.

Acid3 tests for a few things that have been dropped from the standard, so if a new browser passes it 100%, I'm suspicious.

The browser has been under development for a while now. It's the built in browser for SerenityOS: https://serenityos.org/

does it have tabs because all i need is tabs

James-Livesey 4y ago ↗

The SerenityOS browser has tabs (they're hidden when only one tab is open). Ladybird doesn't seem to have them yet (considering it also doesn't have all the other buttons), but I should imagine it's something that would be added.

Ooh, 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.
