Servo seems to be more viable than Ladybird

  I remember back when you could run the Servo app on macOS, it was a doge inside a cog and you could actually browse the internet, there was an address bar and back/forward buttons. But now they've actually removed that sort of stuff and given up on making a standalone browser in Rust, in favor of augmenting Firefox instead. See Firefox Quantum.

    Mozilla actually fired the Servo developers to focus solely on Firefox (they still employ Rust developers, just not on Servo). But after some years, other companies picked up development on Servo. Servo doesn't have a browser but I'd wager that writing a full featured browser for Servo would be much more useful than another Blink browser

      I think Servo has already served to bootstrap a bunch of Rust-ecosystem things, and that's why they yeeted it. Though webrender and some other offshoots from Servo are still useful for a lot of projects.
