There are five browser cores:
- webkit
- chromium
- gecko
- servo
- youtube-dl, which ended up implementing a full-fledged browser in python to keep successfully downloading videos

@artemis gecko and servo can be deleted, chromium has embedding APIs, Mozilla killed that.

@lanodan Igalia is actually doing great work to continue developing Servo. It's not complete but it's definitely still alive.

@lanodan ahhhh, I see. it got boosted and I completely missed that it was really old. maybe Mastodon should pick up that UI feature other AP implementations have where old posts get marked some way.
