It’s really great to see Servo working on newer features (like preload and blocking) rather than spending all its time backfilling decades of API minutiae.

I dream of being able to embed Servo in an app instead of the extremely bulky Chromium everyone uses today, and use the latest and greatest browser features with it. All we need next is for Apple to allow other browser engines (sigh)

    You might be invested in Dioxus Native then.

    Yeah, waiting for Servo to replace Chromium in QtWebEngine so I can get rid of the pesky $HOME/.pki which Chromium developers don't care to fix by using libnss correctly.

    Weren't they already forced to do it in some countries?

      They were forced in some counties but (IIRC) only in apps that function as web browsers. Embedded webviews are still Webkit only.

      (I might be wrong about that, I haven’t investigated in depth since I’m in the US and can’t make use of it anyway)

        I think this is reasonable restriction tbh for security and optimization reasons.
