Definitely a good thing and definitely (possibly) an improvement.
However Gecko is open source too and, more importantly, the engine won’t make a difference on the browser, which could still have all the worst possible features while still using the Servo engine.
Not trying to be a doomer here, I look forward to Servo and its adoption in Firefox.

well the biggest difference is servo being developed under linux foundation which is a non profit organization, that creates a huge difference in its motivation and direction.

Yes, but it is still only an engine.
Also Mozilla hasn’t done anything wrong with Gecko that could make one question its motivation or direction.

I mean yeah they havent done anything wrong “yet” but I am loosing confidence in the company considering the direction they are headed in, like this AI stuff
