Ladybird has a strong "all dependencies built in house" philosophy. Their argument is they want an alternative implementation to whatever is used by other browsers. I'd argue they would never use a third party library like servo as a principle.

No they don’t - SerenityOS did, but when Ladybird split out they started using all sorts of third party libraries for image decoding, network, etc.

Now a core part of the browser rendering engine is not something they’re going to outsource because it would defeat the goal of the project, but they have a far different policy to dependencies now than it used to before.
