I clicked the link and read the site and still have no idea what that is
It’s the next big hope for a browser engine besides the 3 current ones, powering chrome, firefox and safari
Their github: https://github.com/servo/servo
(there’s also Ladybird but Servo is more exciting as the Rust one that used to be supported by Mozilla and now by the Linux Foundation)
Ladybird also has rather questionable politics https://hyperborea.org/reviews/software/ladybird-inclusivity/
Oh, and it has just taken a turn for the worst as well, seeing the latest update in the article
(I.e. it would be ironic if we pushed for it to succeed and it ended up supplanting gecko and Mozilla)
Technically it’s already partially in Mozilla Firefox via Firefox Quantum.
Look at that, Servo is already in 6% of browsers
What parts did they include from Servo?
Man, that would be great
Servo is a web browser rendering engine written in rust. It was originally started by Mozilla but then abandoned
Browser engine
A web engine, like Gecko, Blink and so on.
Does this mean we can finally ditch all those memory-hungry Electron apps?
Think you’re looking for Tauri
I’m curious about why they aren’t stable yet. It’s been a while. And there should be a lot incentives. Like cash. If one wants some.
My guess is that something is not right with the project or the chosen technology. And that some other project will be first to deliver the new memory safe browser engine reference implementation. Maybe I’m just being grumpy.
its not easy to develop browser engine from scratch. Also theyve only started working actively on the project for like 2 years now
Fair enough.
