Not a great batting average - seems like sites need to be purpose built for this or leverage little/no modern javascript libraries for it to render accurately. Servo has been in this state for the last 5 or 6 years since I first discovered it.
- pohl 3y agoOver how many of those years was there any active development, though? It just re-started recently.
- dathinab 3y agoand before it was restarted it wasn't even meant to ever become a full fledged stand alone browser at all...
- brundolf 3y agoIt isn't production-ready and I don't think it claims to be
- kramerger 3y agoHow does that compare to ladybird? https://awesomekling.github.io/Ladybird-a-new-cross-platform-browser-project/ https://awesomekling.github.io/Ladybird-a-new-cross-platform...
- LeFantome 3y agoLadybird is slow as hell but it is mind-blowing how much progress they have made in a short period. I am very hopeful that they can become a viable alternative in a couple of years. For anybody that does not know, Ladybird is a cross-platform browser built on the html, css, and js libraries from SerenityOS.
- rice7th 3y agoYeah. With each Andreas Kling browser hacking video Ladybird becomes either faster or more bugfixed. Still unstable and a bit slower than servo, but Geez it render Discord! (Kinda. They're working on it)
- dathinab 3y agoit's not a full fledged browser for now, never was intended to become one, maybe now will it's doesn't even call itself a browser but a "web rendering engine" a lot of things today need a lot of not-quite standard, messy or standardized by very very complicated stuff to even render correctly it wasn't really maintained for a long while until very recently (because it originally was never meant to become a full browser) so I'm not sure what you are expecting
