This, Basilisk and Ladybird make me very optimistic about the future of web browsers. I’m glad to see that people are working on alternatives divorced from Mozilla, as it seems they don’t care anymore.

Sure would be nice to have another Web engine.

Why do you think they don’t care anymore?

Basilisk is the odd one out here. It is a continuation of pre-Servo Firefox ( Firefox before Rust ). It is not exactly a “new” engine.
Ladybird is probably the most exciting project as it is most likely to create a new independent browser suitable for daily use.
Servo was very exciting back when Mozilla was heavily invested in it. Sadly, it was long dormant. It really seems to be heating up again though so that is awesome.

Long term servo is unlike to be another web engine. It’ll just replace Firefox. Firefox’s old engine won’t get as much development. Then we’ll be left with Safari, Firefox (servo) and googles web manipulation vehicle Chrome safari with more tracking and higher battery/ram consumption.

Mozilla is not really associated with Servo anymore.
I would be surprised to see Firefox move to Servo.
