Can a browser expert please go through the code the agent wrote (skim it), and let us know how it is. Is it comparable to ladybird, or Servo, can it ever reach that capability soon?

I'm interested in this too. I was expecting just a chromium reskin, but it does seem to be at least something more than that. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46625189 claims it uses Taffy for CSS layout but the docs also claim "Taffy for flex/grid, native for tables/block/inline"

I've done this in the parallel post, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46705625 (and a couple of other replies in that thread)

TLDR; the code is not a valid POC but throw-away level quality that could never support a functioning web engine. It's actually very clear hallucinated AI BS, which is what you get when you don't have a human expert in the loop.

I actually like using AI, but only to save me the typing.

You can start by trying to compile the project (spoiler: you can't)
