   So many bugs to fix

   The idea of a productivity based browser is great but since this browser is still new, it has trouble with a lot of things. Sometimes it doesn't open a new tab when i try, sometimes web apps don't open, and overall its not a smooth experience that i could recommend to people

   🏁 Competitors: Vivaldi, Mozilla Firefox, Brave

   👍 Pros:    Everything you need is in the homepage|Looks really pretty|Focuses on productivity|Has control over ram usage and data|A search option that searches all throughout your history, bookmarks, web and everything

   👎 Cons:    A buggy performance|Short term freezes|Might need some time getting used to the web apps

• Making Twitter likes/bookmarks backup tool as side quest of offline first browser (that saves everything)

  I've been developing frontend in-memory graph DB / state manager for 1) replication 2) incremental sync 3) fast rendering (without VDOM/react). Used in https://seesu.me & https://meetsidekick.com (where I was 1st engineer). Source: over 1 year ago

• Making Twitter likes/bookmarks backup tool as side quest of browser that saves everything

  To make snapshot it takes current state of DOM, current state of styles (to capture CSS-in-JS stuff), take resources like font/images from network storage (Chrome Dev Tools protocol) and saves it as HTML on disk.

• Mozilla Corporation Org Changes to Accelerate Our Path to the Future

  Https://servo.org/ is seeing new development alongside https://tauri.app/ which seems like it could replace Electron, getting them a little closer to native speed and memory usage. It'd be nice to see more and more of Servo integrated into Firefox. Web pages rendered at 120fps and fewer memory leaks in long-lived many-tabbed browser sessions would be lovely. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• GitHub Sponsor the Servo Rust project!

  Servo, the embeddable, independent, memory-safe, modular, parallel web rendering engine. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Bringing Exchange Support to Thunderbird

  Actually leave html rendering to Servo https://servo.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• The Ladybird Browser Project

  Great to see some competition still alive in browser engine development. See also Servo (previously part of Mozilla) https://servo.org/ - that and Ladybird are still very underdeveloped compared to every day browsers. It's a huge shame that there are no nightly builds of ladybird to try out but I assume that's because they just don't want the bug reports (if everything doesn't work it's pointless getting random... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• ❓ Is Google flagging activity from Firefox and targeting uBlock?

  It won't don't worry. There already are forks, for the worst case scenario. And Servo is on its way. Not yet ready, but it will be. Originally, from Mozilla kitchen. Source: 6 months ago
