In the light of Firefox's changes to sharing data and the fact that there are only two browsers^[/s], here is a reminder about Servo, an "experimental browser engine".

Who know, it could be the next big browser (one can hope at least).

After being virtually dead, it's had a lot more development over the last few years(?), with steady progress towards passing the tests and supporting the specs (including reporting spec bugs and vagueness). It's still a long way from being generally usable.

The focus is on making something that could be embeddable, although there are basic browsers using that embed. The focus seems to be on for use-cases like Electron, which doesn't need all of the web APIs.

I don't use it or contribute (yet), but I have their blog in my RSS reader and so keep an eye on it.
