They're prioritizing correctness to the spec over speed and are still 'officially' in pre-alpha. It's still to be determined how well they can bridge the gap there.

For casual web browsing it's plenty fast enough already to do a lot of things, but they're a relatively small team fighting against decades of optimization.

All browsers are fast enough once you block all the useless web bloat.

What? No one is expecting Ladybird to be fast at this stage. No one is claiming that it is. Ladybird is competitive because of the speed of which it is improving.

Very unfair to look at ladybird and call it slow, when its not even alpha and shouldn't be used yet

Remember you're experiencing a debug build of pre-alpha software.
