Mozilla Punts Servo Web Engine Development To The Linux Foundation

"Punts" is correct here.

1. "puts" not "punts"

": to kick (something, such as a football or soccer ball) with the top of the foot before the ball which is dropped from the hands hits the ground"

[wswartzendruber]

"Punts" is correct here. The connotation is that it's a cop-out move on Mozilla's part.

I'm a Firefox die-hard. But if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...
Let's be honest here, Servo was supposed the new heart of Firefox. Who in their right mind announces they just ripped their heart out and donated it for safe-keeping?

oh, thanks. One learns something new every day!

Servo was Mozilla's future. They needed that tech to avoid losing users long term. Nobody will compare browsers and choose the one which is much slower and less responsive. :facepalm:

Why does Firefox need its core replaced every few years anyway?

Thats as simple as it can be: The web is replaced every few years.

Firefox works just great for me. I have no interest in changing what so ever.

[bachchain]

Why would the Linux foundation even want a web engine?

Why does Firefox need its core replaced every few years anyway?

Firefox's core has never been replaced.
