Servo browser engine

“Seems like pretty sound strategy to me to slowly, but surely, adopt a memory-safe language.”

“There are components of servo that are really good and basically complete”

“it would already be usable as an embedded kiosk for applications where you own the pages being accessed”

“About 10% of the memory usage and 5% of the render time as doing the same thing with headless chrome.”

“Servo doesn't implement the whole web platform, but your own desktop app isn't the whole web.”

“it is useful in the sense that it can be used to provide (another) source of validation”

“If I hadn't rage-sponsored servo over the shitty Mozilla handling of money, I'd rage-sponsor servo now.”

“I truly hope Ladybird, Servo, and Flow succeed in building mature and competitive web engines”

“Just pay salaries for Servo developers and watch the browser get better.”

“I wanted this to succeed as much as the next guy, but the momentum just isn't there.”

“it's usable for applications web views if you're willing to restrict yourself”

“Anything that creates more competition in the browser space has my support.”

“Compatibility with web standards is nowhere near the level of browsers people actually want to use.”

“We actively mentor newcomers, help people learn Rust and browser engine development, and review community PRs.”

“depending on the sites you browse daily (like HN - which works fine), you might be able to use one of these as a daily-driver”

“Frankly, https://opencollective.com/servo is a better place to donate by now.”

“I wouldn't use it for a JS-heavy site. But if you have simple static content, it's probably enough.”

“Thankfully Servo has picked up speed again and if one wants a Rust based browser engine what better choice than the one the language was built to enable?”

“They were founded as a project to write a modern browser in Rust. So, no hand-waving there.”

“it's highly modularized and some of its components are widely used by the larger Rust ecosystem”

“Having a sustainable, grassroots community project in Servo makes me have hope again”

“It seems a lot of progress is being made towards making this a viable embedded web engine.”

“I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to download and run it without having to worry about building it.”

“This update shows that Servo is becoming a serious tool and not just an experiment.”

“The more eyes, the shallower the bugs, the more heads and hands, the sooner they're squashed”

“Servo may end up being this alternative no matter whether the Servo developers deem this to be the intended purpose of their work or not.”

“for most static-ish websites I tried, it's not perfect but definitely usable”

“if you do want to try it then there are builds available for most platforms”

“Night and day better than 3 years ago. Website like github work properly now.”

“it still seems to be not ready to be a daily driver but I still follow blogs and videos about Servo”

“most websites had major rendering or usability problems to the point that I abandoned the idea”

“Servo isn't quite there yet, but give it another year on the current trajectory and it might well be a viable option”

“the best advertisement for Servo's parallel layout architecture I've seen in a while”

“A usable alternative browser engine and with that usable alternative browsers is a big, BIG thing”

“Provide substantial support for the Servo project, if they're still willing.”

“Servo is pretty well run, and their regular donations have been improving.”

“Servo is still a work in progress, but their current positions give a great deal of hope.”

“thankfully next generation of browsers are here - ladybug and servo, so at least something will survive even in the worst of the worst cases”

“Servo and Ladybird seem to be getting shit done with a lot less money than Mozilla”

“efforts I have made to try and get Servo developers to collaborate on shared layout/text/font modules have been in vain”
