How usable is Servo nowadays? I remember trying it like 3 years ago (exploring it for integration for a dashboard where Chromium was too heavy), and most websites had major rendering or usability problems to the point that I abandoned the idea.
- stephen_g 10mo agoProbably the best way to get a feel short of actually trying it is to read the monthly reports on their blog [1], it still seems to be not ready to be a daily driver but I still follow blogs and videos about Servo and Ladybird because I’m hopeful we will have some more browser engine diversity someday! 1. https://servo.org/blog/ https://servo.org/blog/
- nicoburns 10mo agoYes, and if you do want to try it then there are builds available for most platforms: https://servo.org/download https://servo.org/download
- torginus 10mo agoThanks! I've checked it out, and my quick assessment is that for most static-ish websites I tried, it's not perfect but definitely usable!
- nicoburns 10mo agoNight and day better than 3 years ago. Website like github work properly now. But still a ways to go to catch up with top-tier browsers in both compatibility and performance. (if testing make sure you enable the "experimental features" using the button in the top-right - the project is far too conservative about this and lots of stuff doesn't work without them)
