We were working on porting servo first

  How far is Redox from being able to run a web browser?
  • jackpot51 8y ago
    It already runs netsurf. For something like Firefox, it is a matter of porting more packages like GTK+ and spidermonkey

      That's awesome. At this pace I can see myself using Redox as my daily driver in a few years. Any plans to target some hardware to be able to run Redox on bare metal? Are the screenshots on the website VMs or bare metal? If the later you should definitely say so on that page!

        Yes, Redox does run on bare metal. https://www.redox-os.org/screens/ https://www.redox-os.org/screens/

  By 'porting servo' do you mean a browser that uses Servo but it isn't Firefox? That'd actually be pretty neat, all the good bits of FF without (respectfully i say this) the cruft.

    You can run Servo standalone: https://download.servo.org/ https://download.servo.org/

    Servo is a complete experimental standalone web engine. It only use the Javascript engine from Firefox (Spidermonkey). Firefox is only using some parts of Servo : the graphic renderer (WebRender) and the CSS engine (Stylo).
