Servo and Ladybird are both nowhere near close to daily drivable (at least for the general public), however Servos been making a ton of progress after their restart and seems much more like an actual chrome competitor then Ladybird. So why do I never see it talked about while Ladybird seems to be the next big topic here?

Keep in mind I do think these are both amazing projects and I really hope they can co-exist

    They have a functioning “light weight” browser people can use for testing. And honestly, wrapping all the browser features around an engine, is very much the easy part. That’s why there are so many browsers with so few rendering engines.

      Sure, but it’s the reason why Servo isn’t being advertised to end users. People planning to create a browser will probably have heard of it.

        Servo shouldn’t be advertised to end users yet. They have to be more conplete. And when they do, another browser that wraps around servo will do the end user thing

        Have you heard of verso, it’s web browser being built on top of servo, which also aims to help servo to be more “embedable”.

          I had not heard of Verso yet. That’s cool, that folks are already working on a UI.
