The problem is that the modern web is complicated. You have a lot of features like svg which don't get used pervasively but are enough for it to impact experience.
As for Servo crashing, we don't really prioritize crash fixes since it's not a product at the moment. But please do file bugs for it if you think it's not a known crash.
- cesarb 10y agoAlready filed, https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/14575 https://github.com/servo/servo/issues/14575 (I was going to the Wikipedia article on "Animated GIF" because I wanted to see how well Servo worked with animated images, and I knew I'd find one there. Sadly, it panics every time.)
- Manishearth 10y agoDoesn't seem like it's a bug with animated gifs, actually (though it could be). But you're right, we don't support animated gifs.
- cesarb 10y agoIt's worse: from the error message, it seems to be a bug with floats. From my experience editing Wikipedia, floats tend to be a pain. Do you know why the [edit] link on the sections is on the left? It used to be on the right, as a float, and its interaction with the right-aligned images (which are also floats) often caused problems. I've blanked out the several templates we had to use to try to make floats behave themselves. And there was also that Mozilla bug where IIRC some kind of rounding error caused 1-pixel misalignments with floats. Took a long time until that one was fixed.
- Manishearth 10y agoYeah, floats are in flux right now in Servo. I'm not sure if pcwalton's new stuff is completely finished. I'd suspect the edit issue is also a float bug or just a CSS property not being implemented.
