    I was pretty excited for a Servo when it was first announced. Then Mozilla shifted priorities and development slowed down to a crawl. Glad to see some more activity on it now.

    I presume the tentative future goal would be to rebase Firefox on top of this. Hopefully Servo does eventually reach that level of maturity.

      IIRC, some code from Servo was merged into Firefox during project Quantum

      It’s more likely we’ll see a new browser with Servo rather than Firefox replacing Gecko with it - especially after Mozilla’s recent wayward behavior starting with cutting Rust and Servo lose. But even more likely is Servo becoming a backend for Tauri. Anything beyond that will depend on the developers’ persistence.
