      Servo is a web browser rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications.

      Essentially it is an alternative to chromium based web browser engines. The other (major) web browser engines are WebKit for iOS and Gecko for Firefox. You can see a list at Wikipedia.

      It’s the next big hope for a browser engine besides the 3 current ones, powering chrome, firefox and safari

        (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)

          (I.e. it would be ironic if we pushed for it to succeed and it supplanted Gecko and Mozilla)

          Ladybird also has rather questionable politics https://hyperborea.org/reviews/software/ladybird-inclusivity/

      Servo is a web browser rendering engine written in rust. It was originally started by Mozilla but then abandoned

        Why did they abandon it? I thought they merged it in a while back.
