I wonder how the Ladybird [0] project handles Quirks mode. Since it&#x27;s more of a hobby project, it might not be fun to get pages designed for IE6 running well in Ladybird. I&#x27;m fine with that, especially as time goes on and less and less of the well-trafficked web is using these old undefined behaviors. Perhaps now would be a good time to start working on projects to build an HTML5 compatibility layer around the old stuff, kind of like the Ruffle [1] project.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ladybird.dev&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ladybird.dev&#x2F;</a> [1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ruffle.rs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;ruffle.rs&#x2F;</a>

(Last updated January 2020. Can think of no reason why anyone in the postpandemic world needs to know about this. Although, if I must read about Quirks mode, I do at least enjoy reading about it in a font with such a beautifully elegant capital Q swash.)
