  Even Mozilla doesn’t really want Gecko anymore, that’s why they started Servo.

    I don’t keep up with any of this stuff, and so it just makes me think of memes like this:

    They also abandoned it. It has been picked up by the Linux Foundation though, which is exciting.

      I have noticed that Mozilla has a long history of bad decisions. I wish that the Foundation wouldn’t just let it bit-rot though.

        They aren’t; it isn’t languishing at all. It is being actively developed. Check out the commit log.

        Mozilla integrated parts of Servo and concluded it as a Mozilla project, passing governance to the Linux Foundation Europe. You call that letting it rot?

    What makes you say so?

    They saw potential in Rust for safety and technical guarantees, and started the Servo project. Eventually, they integrated some things into Gecko, and then concluded the Servo project.

    What makes you think they don’t want Gecko anymore? What makes you say they started Servo when it’s a partially integrated and, more importantly, a concluded project?

      safari?

        I mean third party and multi platform. And I know Gnome Web does. But why isn’t there a bigger, more mainstream browser that isn’t Safari, that does?

      There are some very minor browser that use webkit.

      • accideath@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I know. Gnome Web among others. But why isn’t there any more mainstream example? Why does everyone use blink?

      IIRC it’s used by a few devices that aren’t really built for web browsing. I think the PlayStation browser, some smart TV browsers, and the Kindle browser all use WebKit? But none of those devices are really intended for browsing, they just sort of have the browser available as an “I guess if you REALLY need to use a browser and have no other alternatives” option.
