I'm not sure if Servo can really be considered European, given that it's under the Linux Foundation which has headquarters in California?

That said, I love following the project. I'm writing this post from Servo 0.0.2 on Fedora, and for a site like Piefed it really seems to be performing quite well.

Anyone who wants to toke it for a spin on Linux just needs to download the zip, unpack it, and double click the file named Servo. Make sure to enable experimental features by clicking the icon in the top right corner of the window.

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012, the Servo project began as a research and development effort. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020. The project finally moved to Linux Foundation Europe in 2023 with the mission of trying to regain interest from the broader industry.

Ah shoot, I didn't catch that. Didn't know about the Linux Foundation Europe at all actually.

Linux Foundation Europe provides a neutral, trusted hub

I feel like it's too rare I see such direct responses from organizations realizing America is failing.

I didn't either before Servo!

Finally! With WebKit (Safari), Blink (Chromium), Gecko (Firefox), Servo, and Ladybird, it may give Google less control over us.

Yes. From their v0.0.1 blog post:

We plan to publish such a tagged release every month. For now, we are adopting a simple release process where we will use a recent nightly build and perform additional manual testing to identify issues and regressions before tagging and publishing the binaries.

Good to see you're back!

So itโ€™s using the Same Rendering Engine as Firefox?

[โ€“] Vittelius@feddit.org 11 points 1 day ago

Partially. Servo is the engine that was to replace the one in Firefox. But then mozilla abandoned the project. Since both projects where developed under the same roof, some features where backported into gecko (the engine Firefox actually uses)

But most of the code in Servo doesn't show up in FF
