Like the new browser engine is not critical to the mission of providing an independent open-source web browser? You're basically answering your own question. Servo was dropped because it was more than Mozilla could handle financially and in terms of time, and they would not be able to complete it within a reasonable timeframe. Do you have a source for any other reasoning?
- miroljub 1y agoSure, if they pursued Servo they would not have enough resources to pursue Pocket, DEI and other essential projects.
- StopDisinfo910 1y agoThat’s not how Mozilla defines its mission. Mozilla views its call as ensuring openness, innovation and participation on the internet. It’s pretty clear that delivering a browser has been a side goal for a long time as far as the board is concerned. I am not understanding your call for source. You are providing your speculations. I don’t need to provide an alternative narrative. I can simply give you what Mozilla said at the time as I have already done.
