      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)

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

      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.

        Minor correction: Blink is the browser engine, Chromium is the open source browser project.
