    Servo is still a neat project, but it's miles behind Ladybird (Open Source) and Flow Browser (Closed Source) in web platform tests despite existing for far longer. Those two browsers are far better options to replace Chromium/Firefox in the short term. Why the Linux Foundation chooses to fund Chromium (a project that already gets millions in funding) and not projects like Ladybird is beyond me.

      Ladybird is ahead in their focus stuff, but lacks support for things like webgpu, it's atrociously slow and crash prone, and their javascript support is also worse then servo last I checked, which is understandable since servo also uses mozjs.

      Ladybird is absolutely not in a better position then ladybird is. Both are very promising in their own right, but servo is still far ahead of ladybird for general use.

        I'm pretty sure Servo's guts will end up being usable as the browser engine inside GTK4 browsers, just like WebKit is used inside of Epiphany. I thinkt he Servo developers pare primarily focused on the 'internals', but they do need to have enough functional UX to let people kick the tires.

        By the way, I played around with Epiphany/GNOME Web recently and it was quite good, after years of being unreliable when I tried to use it under GNOME 4x and Wayland.

            there are a couple projects going on, in no particular order, including a GTK example, below are a list of the ones I know of that are at least somewhat updated in response to UX stuff.

            Servoshell == egui
            verso == browser using locally rendered chrome https://github.com/versotile-org/verso/pulls
            kdab's servo in qt == qt (dead or on hiatus) https://github.com/KDABLabs/cxx-qt-servo-webview
            JDM's servo embedding example == GTK/Glutin https://github.com/jdm/servo-embedding-example/
            cuervo == CLI servo https://github.com/mcclure/cuervo
            moto == servoshell expanded https://github.com/moto-browser/moto
