One Human and One Agent = One Browser from Scratch

How did you handle the context window for 20k lines? I assume you aren't feeding the whole codebase in every time given the API costs. I've struggled to keep agents coherent on larger projects without blowing the budget, so I'm curious if you used a specific scoping strategy here.

The rendering is pretty chaotic when I tried it- not that far off from just the text in the html tags, in some size, color, and placement on the screen. This sounds like unfairness, but there is some motte-and-bailey where if you claim to be a browser, I get to evaluate on stuff like links being consistently blue and underlined ( as is, they are sometimes blue and sometimes underlined, without a clear pattern- if they were never formatted differently from standard text, I would just buy this as a feature not implemented yet). It may be that some of the rendering is not supported on windows- the back button certainly isn't. I guess if I want to make my criticism actually legitimate I should make a "one human and no agent browser" post that just regexes out stuff that looks like content and formats it at random. The binary I downloaded definitely overperforms at the hacker news homepage and simonw's blog.

Hmm, clicking the 'prediction for 2029' link gets me to the 404: Page not found.

> I'm going to upgrade my prediction for 2029: I think we're going to get a production-grade web browser built by a small team using AI assistance by then.

That is Ladybird Browser if that was not already obvious.
