Well, they do not answer the question “what is Servo” by saying it is a web browser. They answer that it is a “rendering engine”.

But ok, you might think the obvious thing to do with a “rendering engine” is to make a browser.

I guess that is why they answer the question “what can Servo do for you?” as follows:

“Servo can be used to build embedded applications with web technologies, such as kiosk interfaces and digital signage. At present, Servo is especially suited to applications that use WebGL or WebGPU, as well as CSS-based applications where the developer has control over how components are implemented. Servo’s layout engine can similarly be used as the basis for Rust-based native UI frameworks.”

Maybe it is just me but “we are making a web browser from Servo” or even “YOU could make a web browser with Servo” seem to be markedly under-represented in those answers.

These are from the pages linked.

I guess my question back would be, “what evidence is there that Igalia plans to make a browser?”.

Agreed. There is a conflict of interest at the leadership level.

(I said conflict of interest people, when 83% of your funding comes from your main competition it's hard not to have a conflict of interest. Don't tell me how good the people are at heart. It's not about intent it's about capabilities)

Of all the things Mozilla does, this seems like the most fundamental to their core outreach product, their browser. And the fact they gave it up but maintained a lot of their superfluous activities just really frustrated me
