Improved control over typography, very early support for sticky positioning and tables, plus updates to our minibrowser and build tooling.

    I was pretty excited for a Servo when it was first announced. Then Mozilla shifted priorities and development slowed down to a crawl. Glad to see some more activity on it now.

    I presume the tentative future goal would be to rebase Firefox on top of this. Hopefully Servo does eventually reach that level of maturity.

      It’s more likely we’ll see a new browser with Servo rather than Firefox replacing Gecko with it - especially after Mozilla’s recent wayward behavior starting with cutting Rust and Servo lose. But even more likely is Servo becoming a backend for Tauri. Anything beyond that will depend on the developers’ persistence.
