I second this observation. Last month I was looking for "webview" alternatives on Linux (with bindings in Rust, Go or Python); I wanted to create a simple chrome-less browser that allows me to override / takeover HTTP requests.
However to my astonishment, these isn't even one Gecko-based alternative. I've found a few based on WebKit (I've ended up using Qt5 in Python), a few based on Chromium (including Electron / nwjs), but zero for Gecko...
If perhaps Gecko would be easily embedable (and perhaps used less resources than Chromium), it could start appearing in other applications, and thus at least get some market-share in that segment.

- timw4mail 5y agoServo is not at a level that it can compete with Gecko. It may work for many use cases, but it's not an 'upgrade' or 'replacement' for Gecko.
