Never heard about it before, thank you!

[–] clot27@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Its the hope for better browsing and I am excited about it :)

From your comment it seems you don't truly understand what Servo is.

How is it a "hope" for you?

[–] clot27@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

as much as my understanding goes, its a new browser engine which is completely open source, isnt that a good thing?

[–] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Definitely a good thing and definitely (possibly) an improvement.

However Gecko is open source too and, more importantly, the engine won't make a difference on the browser, which could still have all the worst possible features while still using the Servo engine.

Not trying to be a doomer here, I look forward to Servo and its adoption in Firefox.

well the biggest difference is servo being developed under linux foundation which is a non profit organization, that creates a huge difference in its motivation and direction.

[–] kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yes, but it is still only an engine.

Also Mozilla hasn't done anything wrong with Gecko that could make one question its motivation or direction.

I mean yeah they havent done anything wrong "yet" but I am loosing confidence in the company considering the direction they are headed in, like this AI stuff
