every time I see someone going "I finally ditched #firefox and went with this closed source chromium based alternative instead"

all I can think of is

@anthropy I agree with you, and I am also staying on Firefox, but I understand some people moving on. Governance also matters.
@jsoriano oh I'm definitely not blaming people for finding alternatives, I just think that people aren't considering their alternatives carefully enough-- which to be fair, is hard, because there aren't a lot of good ones. This is exactly why I'm funding Servo

@anthropy @jsoriano speaking of servo: are you aware of a project for "a browser around servo(the engine) that is intended to be usable"

like, servoshell is okay but it doesn't really feel like it's meant to be anything more than a way to try servo's engine out (lack of, say, browser history / extension support / other settings)

Made With Servo - Servo aims to empower developers with a lightweight, high-performance alternative for embedding web technologies in applications.

Servo is a web rendering engine written in Rust, with WebGL and WebGPU support, and adaptable to desktop, mobile, and embedded applications.

@ascii_only @5225225 @anthropy from the readme:

At the moment, Servoshell should provide a better user experience.

it would be really cool to have a proper browser based on servo though, but i guess that is not trivial to do
