Sadly, Servo more or less halted when Mozilla laid off people in 2020. It only really started back up in 2023 when they secured new external funding. That said, I don’t think Servo intends to be a fully-fledged Browser like Ladybird. While LB intends to be a car, Servo plans to be a great engine, but only that.
…on the other hand, Ladybird’s lead dev seems like trouble. So maybe I’d rather wait for a Servo-based browser instead.
The optimist in me hopes not, but only time will tell.
If he does i hope he tanks it so badly that it loses a huge chunk of market share - ideally when ladybird is ready.
Is ladybird some FF replacement?
It’s a completely built from scratch browser https://ladybird.org/, very exciting.
There’s also https://servo.org/ (was mozilla but now linux foundation), but it seems to be going slower.

I think you’d like to keep an eye on Verso.
Can’t believe I forgot about it, already starred and waiting to see where it goes. Thanks.
