Still missing lots of things, For instance no blinking cursor thing for typing, and none of the text controls load up, can't paste in images or anything either. That being said, it is remarkably fast, and phoronix forums are mostly usable otherwise.
EDIT: quoting and edits actually didn't work, but the progress that is there is quite nice.
And no, this is not a joke - I really do hate blinking cursors.

- Servo is gaining a new cross-process compositor API that reduces memory copy overhead for video handling.

I wish it had its own js/wasm engine made with rust too.
But keep going, the progresses are very encouraging.

thanks a lot!
i was wondering if it will be capable to run from cli and pretend to be a 'real' gfx browser with full javascript support (ie rendering pages and dump the output to stdout for further processing, etc)

* being rust, it does have practical potential security benefits, web browsers are very complex things, the less that can go wrong the better
* an actually community oriented browser. Chrome is the furthest thing from one, and firefox likes to pretend to be one, but isn't.
* Modularity, Servo is broken into many crates which makes it both easy to work on, use components from other projects (IE. css grid implementation), or use components of it in other projects really easily.
